Early childhood program innovation support fellowship

OUR GRANT OPPORTUNITIES: Youth Today’s grant listings are carefully curated for our subscribers working in youth-related industries. Subscribers will find local, regional, state and national grant opportunities.

THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Early Childhood, Early Care/Education/Development, Child and Family Health, Organization/Nonprofit Support
Deadline:
June 13, 2025

“Welcome to the Innovation Hub @Thrive Center, a three-month fellowship program that helps startups and nonprofits focused on child and family health scale their impact, powered by the Thrive Center’s experts and connections. For the Fall 2025 cohort, we will be focused on supporting innovators in early childhood. The Innovation Hub Fellowship is designed to support innovators with:

  • Validating and proving their intervention model
  • Developing their implementation strategies for scaling
  • Honing their pitch to customers and partners
  • Making introductions to key decision-makers in health systems, plans, payers, and government organizations.

The three-month fellowship consists of two tracks: validation or engagement science. Each of these tracks works through unique barriers your organization may face. The Innovation Hub Fellowship is committed to working alongside innovators who are building organizations across a range of fields: from mental health care and disability care to early childhood development. We strive to support innovators from historically underrepresented and underresourced backgrounds and create an inclusive program culture where differences are celebrated and leveraged to inform better design and business decisions. We strongly encourage women, people of color, LGBT individuals, people with disabilities, members of ethnic minorities, foreign-born residents, and veterans to apply.”
