In collaboration with families and our community partners, we plan, fund, implement, and evaluate initiatives for quality care and education, health, and family support services.
Chatham County Partnership for Children directs funding toward early childhood systems in Chatham County, with the largest recent grant going to Chatham County Schools for NC Pre-K. That pattern points to a funder that uses grants to place children in pre-kindergarten slots, support child care nutrition, and strengthen services for families with young children. Recent awards also show sustained support for Playmates Child Care and Development Center in Selma through the child nutrition and Child and Adult Care Food Program line, alongside NC Pre-K investments for Telamon Head Start, Children First, and Chatham Child Development Center. The foundation’s grantmaking is built around direct program delivery and service infrastructure rather than individual support. Its active programs include local administration of NC Pre-K, sponsorship for child care centers and homes in CACFP, and Smart Start funding for quality child care, health, family support, and provider capacity. Grants appear to move through local partners that deliver early learning, nutrition, and family services in Chatham County and nearby North Carolina communities. The result is a funder profile centered on early childhood access, provider support, and coordinated local implementation.
In pre-kindergarten work, Chatham County Partnership for Children awarded $864,633 in 2025 to Chatham County Schools for NC Pre-K, reflecting a major role in placing eligible 4-year-old children into funded slots. The same program supported Telamon Head Start with $223,600 in 2025 and Children First with $129,166 in 2025 for NC Pre-K. Child nutrition is another visible line of support. The partnership gave $280,524 in 2024 and $234,239 in 2025 to Playmates Child Care and Development Center for nutrition and child care food program work, and $90,110 in 2023 to Pasitos Felices for the same purpose. Health and family support also appear through local public and community providers. Chatham County Health Department received $144,224 in 2025 for family support and child care health consultation, while Chapel Hill Training Outreach Project Inc received $79,599 in 2023 for child care behavior consultation under the ABCD Project.
