About 4c for Children

4C For Children Inc stands out for running the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program for family child care providers, pairing meal reimbursements with training, menu planning support, and education resources. That combination shows a funder centered on daily operational support for early care settings, not just one-time awards. Its active programs also include guidance on child care bridge payments and a Milwaukee accreditation facilitation project, which places provider stability and quality improvement alongside nutrition support. The foundation’s recent grants show a statewide network of child care resource and referral organizations rather than a single local service area. In 2025, it awarded $39,828 to Community Coordinated Child Care Inc in Madison and $26,000 to Western Dairyland aka Child Care Partnership in Eau Claire, both working in the broader child care support ecosystem. Other grants went to organizations such as Child Care Resource & Referral Inc in Kimberly and Family & Childcare Resources of Northeast Wisconsin Inc in Green Bay, reinforcing a model that relies on intermediaries serving providers, families, and early childhood programs. Across its programs and grants, the foundation’s work consistently connects children, caregivers, and child care providers to resources that help early education settings function more smoothly.

What 4c for Children Funds

A core theme is child nutrition. Through the 4C Food Program, 4C For Children Inc administers CACFP for family child care providers in southeastern Wisconsin, combining monthly meal reimbursements with training, menu planning support, and educational materials. Provider stability is another clear focus. The foundation posts information and guidance on Child Care Bridge Payments, a limited 12-month state program for eligible child care providers, and it helps providers with application steps and required records. Quality improvement appears in the Milwaukee Accreditation Facilitation Project, a cohort-based initiative for family and center-based child care programs that includes coaching, technical assistance, and support with accreditation fees and related costs. The foundation also supports family support and referral infrastructure through grants to regional child care resource organizations, aligning with its stated emphasis on accessible resources for families and providers.
