These community organizations include Evansville Christian School, Carver Community Organization, YMCA, St. Vincent’s Early Learning Center, and Community Coordinated Child Care of Southern Indiana.

The money awarded to these five organizations will support initiatives in 2019 and 2020.

“These grants reflect focused investments in Early Learning,” said Patrick Jackson, Senior Program Officer. “They are designed to contribute to two important changes in our community: more children arriving at Kindergarten ready to learn, and more 3rd graders exceeding grade-level benchmarks for school success.”

These grants were awarded to organizations that align with the Foundation’s four priorities for Early Learning investment:

• Family Engagement
• Provider Effectiveness
• Affordable, High-Quality Enrollment
• Academic Supports
