Early Care and Education Grants is a grant from the California Community Foundation that funds nonprofit organizations working to improve access to and quality of early care and education (ECE) for children in Los Angeles County. The program operates through the Early Childhood Alliance (ECA), a coalition of L.A. County ECE stakeholders launched in partnership with the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. The ECA focuses on raising awareness, building a diverse stakeholder coalition, developing policies to increase support for early care and preschool education, and funding nonprofit organizations that help parents and policymakers advocate for better child care programs. This work addresses a critical gap: approximately three-quarters of income-eligible children in L.A. County were not enrolled in publicly funded ECE as of 2019. Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations in the Los Angeles area. Award amounts vary.
