About Third Sector New England
Third Sector New England Inc concentrates on early childhood workforce and child care organizing, with multi-hundred-thousand-dollar grants tied to educator preparation and compensation. One of its largest recent awards was $2,908,812 to University Enterprises Inc California State University for the Transforming EELT Preparation Program. The foundation also backed statewide public systems with $1,207,886 to the State of Colorado Department of Early Childhood and $1,145,000 to District of Columbia Government DC Treasury for EEIC compensation grants. That mix shows a funder that works through universities, public agencies, and advocacy intermediaries rather than through individual households or small local awards. Its grantmaking also reaches into child care policy infrastructure. A $748,652 grant to Early Childhood Funders Collaborative supported the Raising Child Care Fund 2024, while $350,000 went to Agenda for Children for an ECE workforce task force. In parallel, the foundation continues to support education and public health-linked initiatives, including a $451,888 public health grant to University of Maryland Baltimore and a $238,058 grant to For Providers by Providers Louisiana for an early learning conference. The overall pattern points to capacity, policy, and workforce development in early care and education.
