Multnomah County, BuildUp Oregon launch Preschool for All Facilities Fund
Preschool for All and BuildUp Oregon are announcing the launch of a new Facilities Fund aimed at supporting early childhood education providers.
A Cause for Care
Building a more child centered Oregon.
A Coalition for Change
We are a collaborative of Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) who have joined forces to help build a more child-centered society by preserving, improving, and expanding child care facilities throughout the state of Oregon.
What is a CDFI?
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) are non-profit financial institutions that provide grants, credit, and financial services to low-income, low-wealth, underserved, and over-looked businesses, communities and individuals. They draw on both public and private funding sources such as corporations, philanthropic foundations, and government to serve their communities.
