Additional Information
Now in its 10th year, the Start Early Funders Coalition is a collaboration of more than 15 members of Minnesota’s philanthropic community all focused on supporting our youngest children in Minnesota and their families. Events and activities have the tradition of accomplishing three things:
- Centering equity within our public policy and our learning and research work to improve early childhood care and education access for our state’s youngest learners and those who care for them,
- Amplifying the voices of our communities’ experts, including parents and early care and education providers to better inform our practices and public policies, and
- Making time to honor one another and celebrating our collective successes along the way.
