At the 100WS Grant Celebration last week, we announced that Early Learning Shared Services Alliance (ELSSA) had been selected as the 2023 Women’s Economic Empowerment Impact Grant Recipient.
ELSSA is on a mission to provide childcare centers and home-based providers with centralized back-office support, so that providers can grow their businesses, achieve financial stability and focus on quality programming and education.
Grant Details: This is a two-year grant of up to $40,000 per year to develop a workforce pipeline of qualified childcare teachers through the following:
Recruitment at schools and colleges
Paid internship program
Development of a substitute pool
Continuing education and career advancement.
The Early Learning Coalition of Orange Co.will be matching this grant with an investment of up to $40,000 of monetary and in-kind contributions each year.
We look forward to working with ELSSA on this project and we are incredibly grateful for the support we have already gained from our community.
100 Women Strong’s mission is to elevate the lives of women and children in Central Florida while at the same time creating a passionate community of women philanthropists. We have committed to a 3-year impact focused on Women’s Economic Empowerment from 2022 to 2024.
This year, we celebrate our 17th anniversary as a strategic women’s giving circle in Central Florida.
These investments are only possible because of the engagement of our members and support of our partners.
In short, we can only do what we do, because of YOU!
