Child Care Development Grant
The City of Richmond occasionally provides grants to help licensed non-profit child care operators in Richmond develop and enhance the delivery of child care services to the families of this community.
The City of Richmond's Child Care Development Advisory Committee is pleased to announce the City has made limited funds available through the Child Care Development Statutory Reserve Fund to assist both non-profit licensed child care providers and non-profit societies supporting the provision of child care
with capital funding to develop and enhance the delivery of child care services to the families of Richmond.
Funding is available to assist non-profit licensed child care providers with a one-time capital expense that will improve the quality, availability and accessibility of child care in Richmond (e.g., equipment, furnishings, playground improvements, minor renovations). Other non-profit societies may apply for capital expenses that support quality child care programming and professional development (e.g., equipment, supplies, manuals) for the enhancement of care provided by any or all licensed or registered Richmond child care providers.
Priority will be given to applications supporting infant/toddler and school-age care, identified as priorities in the 
2009 – 2016 Richmond Child Care Needs Assessment and Strategy. Information outlining the application procedure is available below or at the Information Counter of City Hall, 6911 No. 3 Road.
