PFC’s approach to grant making is focused and strategic. PFC make grants in five program areas quality child care, accessible quality child care, affordable quality child care, health and family support for children birth to age 5. PFC must allocate 30% of our budget for childcare subsidy and an additional 40% (totaling 70%) for child care related activities.
