Heartland Lakes Development Commission has been awarded funding from Northwest Minnesota Foundation to provide grants to eligible individuals to create additional childcare capacity in Hubbard County.

The funds are available for scholarships toward the educational requirements to become a childcare provider or for startup funding for a new childcare business to purchase supplies and/or equipment to open.

Individuals may apply for one or both of the funding opportunities. The funding will be made available on a first come, first served basis until the funds have been exhausted.

Additional program information and applications are available on the Heartland Lakes Development Commission website www.heartlandlakesdevelopment.org or by calling 218-732-2256.
