Licensed programs have less than a week left to apply and receive funding for $1,000 staff bonuses through the Child Care Stabilization Grant authorized in the bipartisan State of Michigan budget the governor signed in September. The $380 million grant will be used to provide $1,000 bonuses to childcare professionals and awards thousands of dollars in operational grants to local childcare businesses.
Child Care Stabilization Grant Information:
So far, over 4,000 programs have applied, and funding is still available. Licensed childcare providers should visit Michigan.gov/childcare to review frequently asked questions and apply. Translated versions of the grant documents are available in Arabic, Burmese, Chinese, Kinyarwanda, and Spanish.
Childcare professionals will be awarded bonuses directly from their employer and do not need to apply.
The application will close at 5:00 pm on Wednesday, December 8th.
