The purpose of the Diversity Child Care Start-Up Grant (DCSG) is to support community organizations to develop innovative child care options to address service gaps, by meeting the unique needs of their families (ex: language, accessibility, non-standard/extended or flexible hours of care, rural/remote location, skill based or recreational programming, and culturally appropriate and safe programming).
DCSG funding may be used to help offset the wages of employees directly involved in the operation and/or administration of child care or child-minding services, to purchase equipment required for those services, or to support renovations required to ensure dedicated spaces meet regulatory and/or licensing requirements. Marketing and promotional activities are not eligible.
The amount of grant funding received for which you may be eligible depends on the business plan submitted with a DCSG application form. Eligible applicants developing new child care services will receive a one-time grant of $6,250 per full-time-equivalent child care space as per their business plan. The total amount must not exceed $100,000.00 per applicant, subject to the availability of government funding.
