First Children’s helps children, families and communities thrive by increasing the availability, affordability and quality of early care and education.
As a national nonprofit, we accomplish this by providing financial and business-development assistance to high-quality childcare businesses serving low- and moderate-income families, and building partnerships that connect these vital businesses with the resources of the public and private sectors.
Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota First Children’s Finance also has regional offices in Iowa and Michigan. For more information visit www.firstchildrensfinance.org or call us toll-free at (866) 562-6801.
