Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

American Rescue Plan Act stabilization payments to licensed Hillsborough County child care centers
Payments to home-based family child care providers, many listed as individuals
Scholarships, stipends, and training for early learning providers' professional development
Faith-based preschools, day schools, and franchise centers (Goddard, Kiddie Academy, Discovery Point)
School-age and afterschool programs (Boys & Girls Club, YMCA, Brandon Sports and Aquatic Center)

Typical grant

Median payment is $45,478, with the middle half between $27,242 and $95,987. The largest checks go to multi-site or high-enrollment operators and large youth-serving nonprofits, topping out at $525,252 to Boys & Girls Club of Tampa, while the smallest go to single home-based providers. With 1,643 payments to 809 recipients across 2021-2024, most recipients received two or more disbursements, so participation repeats year over year.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT GRANT”
“early learning providers' professional development”
“scholarships, stipends, and training”
“Early Learning Center”
“Preschool and Childcare”

Positioning adjacent work

Frame work as direct service or workforce support for licensed Hillsborough County providers, not as research.
Connect to the professional development thread: scholarships, stipends, and training for early learning staff.
Size any proposal near $45,000 to $100,000, matching their center-level disbursement range.
Emphasize serving family child care homes and small centers in Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Plant City.

Worth knowing: This is a state-designated early learning coalition passing through federal ARPA child care stabilization dollars, not a discretionary private foundation, and 1,621 of 1,643 payments went to Florida recipients concentrated in Hillsborough County. The 2023 ARPA wave dominates the file, so that funding stream is time-limited; the handful of out-of-state payments (MA, OR, CA) read as vendor or training purchases rather than grants.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
