Grand Victoria Foundation
$2 million
Grand Victoria Foundation is dedicated to the quality, continuity, and effectiveness of early childhood education in Illinois. We embrace the opportunity to leverage Invest in US for the benefit of children and families in Illinois. To support the success of the initiative, Grand Victoria Foundation will grant $2 million in new funding in 2015 and 2016 for early childhood initiatives in Illinois. In particular, our focus will be to strengthen infrastructure and system investments. Our grants will be directed at developing sustainable community systems as well as providing technical assistance to help program providers meet higher quality standards through ExceleRate and to support the work of Illinois’ Early Learning Council to advance a well-coordinated, comprehensive system for children and families.
