Funding: Early Childhood Systems Alignment Capacity Building Grants

The Early Childhood Colorado Partnership supports partners to identify areas of alignment for Colorado early childhood systems efforts to support cross-sector collaboration and engage in shared learning at the agency, community, and statewide level, using the Early Childhood Colorado Framework as a guide.

The 2017 Capacity Building opportunity will award up to $7,500 to up to seven applicants whose work in Colorado aligns with the ECCP’s 2016-2017 priority areas:
