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.
How we’re addressing the need.
We have developed a slate of assistance options to help Oregon’s child care providers improve and expand their facilities and programs.
BuildUp Oregon provides high-quality expert guidance, sometimes known as technical assistance, to qualifying providers that identifies and addresses the individual needs of their program and facilities project. Guidance includes:
Supports the physical renovation of child care facilities and sites within Multnomah County. Grants of approximately $5,000 per slot created or preserved (up to $75,000), and accessible loans, may be available to eligible family child care providers.

We understand that the journey to getting assistance through BuildUp Oregon can seem overwhelming, particularly when paired with the already all-consuming job of running an early care and education facility. That’s why we have advisors standing by to help guide you through the process and set you up for success.
Below are the steps involved in getting through the application and funding process. Each potential and official applicant must pass each step successive step before they are eligible to move onto the next. It’s important to note that not every journey will look the same. In fact, more than half of those receiving funds will not go through the loan application and underwriting process (steps 11 through 13).
