The FUND works with numerous other child care coalitions and advocacy groups developing public policy initiatives aimed at encouraging public and private investments in the child care system.  In this way, the FUND not only contributes to individual projects but works more generally to expand the supply of quality space for child care. Current initiatives include the following:
