This Give to the Max Day, your generosity strengthens the foundation of high-quality, accessible child care across Minnesota and beyond. When you give to First Children’s Finance (FCF), you directly support the child care entrepreneurs, families, and communities who rely on us every day.

FCF is dedicated to growing the supply and long-term sustainability of excellent child care. Our team provides business training, technical assistance, and flexible financing tailored specifically to child care programs. In FY25 alone, we served more than 3,700 child care providers and community partners, helping them stabilize, expand, and build stronger businesses that benefit children and families.

With your support, we can continue expanding our programs, delivering specialized capital solutions, and advocating for policies that strengthen the entire child care sector. Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient system for the future.

Empower Child Care Entrepreneurs

Your gift fuels the success of child care businesses—entrepreneurs who form the backbone of a $99 billion industry and who play an essential role in the economic health of our communities. By supporting these small business owners, you're helping sustain the child care workforce that allows parents to work, employers to thrive, and children to grow and learn in safe, nurturing environments.

Every donation—large or small—moves us closer to a stronger, more stable child care system. Together, we can ensure every child receives the care and early education they deserve.

Thank you for your support!
