Clark County Economic Development Corporation Encouraging Businesses to Participate in Partner Up! Grant Program

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2022 -- 11:01 AM

The Clark County Economic Development Corporation is encouraging Clark County Businesses to participate in the Partner Up! Grant Program.

Partner Up! is a grant program being offered throughout the state. Locally in Western Wisconsin, the Child Care partnership program is coordinated at Western Dairyland, a private non-profit entity located in Eau Claire.

If an employer is willing to cover 25% of their individual employee(s)’s child care costs, then Partner Up! is awarding grant funding to cover the remaining 75% of that cost. The employees receive quality child care, often at their current provider, at no cost to them.

An employer as small as one employee, or with hundreds of employees can participate in this program. Applications are now being accepted until the application period closes April 4th at 5pm.

If you are a child care provider, please reach out to your CCR&R for more information in participating in this program. [email protected] / 715-495-5030. To learn more about the program and review the application, please visit the Partner Up! page.

Consider viewing one of the previously recorded webinars. If you’d like immediate assistance and have questions regarding this opportunity, please reach out to Laura Lash at Western Dairyland, your Business Child Care Advocate.

You can also contact the Clark County Economic Development Corporation at 255-9100.
