Community Network Local Match
Overview: In April 2020, BESE promulgated rules and regulations for the Louisiana Early Childhood Education (ECE) Fund. Funding available through the ECE Fund will be awarded annually to local entities to expand the number of publicly-funded seats in Type III early learning centers for economically-disadvantaged families. In order to be eligible for these funds, local entities must demonstrate that they have secured a non-state and non-federal funding match at a rate of at least one-to-one of the amount they are seeking from the ECE Fund. Lead agencies should use these questions to preliminarily demonstrate their local match, if applicable. If not applicable, leave blank. Funds generated through School Readiness Tax Credit eligible donations are not considered an eligible non-state match. Funds generated through tuition-based seats are not considered an eligible non-state match. Matching funds may come from local or city parish funding, foundations, grants, philanthropist and individual donations, local businesses, etc.
