The Day Care Council of New York primarily funds early childhood care and support infrastructure in New York City, concentrating large service contracts to a handful of community-based providers who operate Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) networks and system-level child care supports. In addition, the Council distributes many smaller, rapid-response CARES scholarship and relief awards directly to family child care homes, small centers and faith-based programs, indicating a mix of system-building and frontline stabilization work. Recipients are local, community-oriented organizations serving low-income and immigrant families across NYC neighborhoods.
Day Care Council of New York Inc channels its largest recent grants into Child Care Resource & Referral work through community-based subcontractors in New York City. In 2025, it awarded $1,879,541 to Committee for Hispanic Children and Families, $1,864,846 to Chinese American Planning Council, and $1,721,446 to Child Development Support Corporation, all described as subcontractors of the council’s CCR&R grant. That pattern shows a funder working through local organizations that already sit close to providers and families, rather than making isolated project grants. The council also uses smaller awards to keep early childhood providers connected to scholarship and stabilization support. Those grants reach family day care homes, small centers, and neighborhood-based programs in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and other parts of the city. The recipient list includes faith-affiliated and immigrant-serving organizations such as Congregation Yeshiva Bnei Torah Inc, Immanuel Inc, and Fairytale Daycare, alongside community child care providers like Tiny Steps One Inc and Solid Foundation. Across the recent grants on file, the council’s giving reads as local, operational, and tied to the childcare system infrastructure in New York City.
A central cause area is child care resource and referral infrastructure. The council gave $2,515,478 to Committee for Hispanic Children and Families in 2023 and $1,726,924 in 2024 for the organization’s role as a subcontractor of the CCR&R grant. It made similarly large CCR&R awards to Chinese American Planning Council and Child Development Support Corporation. Another area is scholarship support for early childhood providers. The council awarded $69,538 to Tslv Inc for scholarship support in 2023, and smaller scholarship grants went to Tiny Steps One Inc and Guidepost Fic C LLC. The council also supports faith-affiliated and community-based child care settings. Examples include grants to Congregation Yeshiva Bnei Torah Inc, Immanuel Inc, Bet Yaakov Ohr Sarah, and Talmud Torah, each identified in the recent grants list with scholarship purposes.
Typical grants range from $10,115 at the 25th percentile to $22,433 at the median, then rise sharply to $1,594,929 at the 75th percentile. That spread reflects a dual pattern: large contracted service awards and many much smaller scholarship grants. The recent grants list shows repeat recipients across multiple years, especially for CCR&R subcontracting, including Committee for Hispanic Children and Families, Chinese American Planning Council, and Child Development Support Corporation. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its structure in the data is consistent with restricted programmatic support and pass-through funding.

Concentrated funding strategy: a small number of very large multi-grant awards to core subcontractor partners for CCR&R functions, paired with many small, one-off CARES scholarship/grant payments to individual family day care homes and small centers — indicating predictable baseline system funding plus distributed rapid-response relief.
Notable grantees: Committee for Hispanic Children and Families, Chinese American Planning Council, Child Development Support Corporation, Tiny Steps One Inc, Cradles to Crayons
