The Family Forward Fund:Champion for Child Care

Closing the affordability gap

Family Forward understands that the high cost of quality child care is a factor that keeps many parents from returning to the workforce. The Family Forward Fund was established to help close the affordability gap in quality child care. Working parents will be able to apply for financial assistance including tuition scholarships and one-time assistance when an unexpected expense puts a parent in jeopardy of losing child care.

The fund is held by the Topeka Community Foundation. There is currently a waiting list for assistance.
