We at the Children's Investment Fund believe that all children need to learn in physical environments designed to support their growth. We help non-profit organizations to develop high-quality spaces for early learning and youth development in Massachusetts.

We provide financing and technical assistance for projects as small as repainting or buying new play equipment and as large as building a whole new center.  Got a project in mind? Maybe we can help. Check our programs to see what's available and whether you're eligible.
