For 2024 – 2025, the Irvine Children’s Fund has committed to raise $200,000 for Child Care Scholarships for low-income, working families with children in Transitional Kindergarten through 6th Grade at the 29 ICCP Child Care Programs located on all 29 elementary schools in the Irvine Unified School District.
The Irvine Children’s Fund Scholarship Program provides scholarships for children enrolled in Irvine Child Care Project (ICCP) supervised child care sites located at all 29 Irvine schools. The ICF Child Care Scholarship Program is on a sliding scale according to income. The family is responsible for the remaining fee. The goal is to make child care affordable and accessible to working families whose income is severely limited. The Irvine Children’s Fund has provided scholarships totaling $3,671,107. ICF has provided before and after school child care scholarships for over 2,000 children in Transitional Kindergarten through 6th grade.
In 1990, the Irvine Children’s Fund established a program to thank the Irvine Unified School District (IUSD) elementary and middle schools for their support and participation in the Irvine Junior Games. Grants for IJG Teacher Reps in the amount of $277,277 have been funded. In 1999, ICF began providing money to the child care sites to purchase supplies and equipment for each site. Since 1999, ICF has contributed $288,675 to the child care sites to purchase supplies and equipment. ICF has committed $29,000 to enhance the programs at each child care site this year.
The Irvine Children’s Fund is a non-profit community support organization, whose mission is to raise funds to help parents meet the before and after school child care needs for children on Irvine elementary school sites and to provide child care scholarships. The Irvine Children’s Fund has contributed $230,928 toward the expansion and major maintenance of child care facilities.
