Childcare Provider Equipment and Supplies Grant Program

UW-LC & City of Florence Logo

The City of Florence, in coordination with the United Way of Lane County, has the opportunity to provide small grants to childcare providers in Florence for equipment and supplies to support their businesses as COVID requirements are loosening and allowable group sizes are returning to pre-pandemic levels. 

Grants will be in amounts up to $2,500 and applications will be accepted through Monday, September 20, 2021 at 5:00 p.m.. Funds are limited. Providers will be required to submit a short application to be considered. Submittals will be reviewed by a panel of staff from United Way of Lane County, Quality Care Connections and the City of Florence. 

Projects that display an urgent need and are closely tied to the impacts of COVID will be ranked higher than projects that do not display these characteristics.  

Examples of Projects:

  • Outdoor Play Equipment
  • Technology Equipment
  • Furniture
  • Educational Toys

Applications must be submitted via email to education@unitedwaylane.org. Incomplete applications will not be processed or followed up on.
