The Wyoming Interagency Working Group on Childcare launched a grant program in January 2025 to expand childcare access across the state. The grant program, administered by the Wyoming Community Foundation, offers funding up to $10,000 per applicant. The next grant application window will open April

1, 2025 and close on April 30, 2025.

In its first round of funding, the Working Group granted approximately $72,000 to ten providers. The program is a collaborative effort of the Wyoming Business Council (WBC), the Wyoming Early Childhood Professional Learning Collaborative, Wyoming Department of Family Services (DFS), the Maternal and Child Health Unit, the Wyoming Women’s Foundation at the Wyoming Community Foundation (WYCF) with additional funding support provided by the John P Ellbogen Foundation

“Response to this grant program confirms what we’ve long known Wyoming families are struggling to find reliable childcare," said Roxanne O’Connor, DFS Support Services Division Administrator. "This funding is a positive step in helping providers open or expand so that they can offer necessary support to working families, but we know there’s still more work to do.”

“We want to make sure providers don’t just open their doors but that they provide excellent care and thrive long-term,” said Nikki Baldwin, director of the University of Wyoming Early Childhood Outreach Network. “That’s why we’re pairing this funding with additional resources.”

The network offers peer support and professional development resources for providers Applicants are also connected to business planning resources through the Wyoming Women’s Business Center and Wyoming Small Business Development Center.

Priority will be given to applicants serving communities with limited or no existing childcare options and to home-based providers seeking start-up support. However, funding will also be considered for childcare entities aiming to expand access in their area or increase enrollment capacity.
