Community Based Child Care Grant Program

The Governor’s Office of Economic Development and Department of Social Services are working together to provide a two-phase funding opportunity for communities to help with solutions to South Dakota child care challenges.

  • PLANNING: Provide funding for communities to develop innovative strategies and detailed plans for addressing child care challenges geared toward increasing state-licensed child care capacity.
  • IMPLEMENTATION: Provide funding to implement the strategies and plans that are created with the planning grants.

The emphasis for this grant program is to provide funds for community-based child care solutions. Community-based shall be defined as there being more than one entity, each serving an essential role(s) in a partnering arrangement. The community-based solution is then collectively involved in either some or all the planning and implementation phases of the project.

If you have technical issues submitting documents, please email Application, Planning & Implementation Plans to Bradi.Stampe@sdgoed.com. Applications are due end of day October 27, 2023.
