Help us provide one more life-changing full-year childcare grant in honor of Mother’s Day: https://lnkd.in/epJpHM8A I’m absolutely delighted to announce that Zorya Foundation is providing our first set of full-year childcare grants for women in healthcare roles. We’ve given away hundreds of childcare and caregiving grants to women working in healthcare roles since we established Zorya Foundation. But so far, these grants have covered just one month of childcare for one child. When describing what Zorya does, I often say it’s a little like Naloxone—our grants can help in the moment, but we are not a long-term solution to the lack of affordable childcare in this country, particularly for healthcare workers. So we are absolutely delighted that, for the first time, we’ll be providing full-year childcare grants, starting with three, $12,000 scholarships for moms working in healthcare roles. These first grants are provided by my personal donation combined with generous support from friend and business partner Kary Nulisch and his team at Castlemark Consulting. These full-year grants do not replace our one-time $1,000 cash grants, they are in addition to our regular programs. Why are we doing this? It will always be our goal at Zorya to do more. And it has been my personal mission to make a difference for women in the workforce. I believe I’ve been successful in the professional world in large part because I had access to consistent and high-quality childcare when my boys were young. I also have a traveling “Oldma” who still jumps on a plane at a moment’s notice to cover for my husband’s and my dueling travel schedules. Not everyone has this support structure, and I would not be where I am without having it myself. Having reliable childcare helps women stay and advance in the workforce. And in the healthcare industry, where we have a serious workforce shortage—and 80% of healthcare workers are women—we’ll not only help these women and their families, but patients across the country. One-time childcare grants are meaningful to our healthcare workers, but full-year support will be life-changing. Help us do more—with generous support from Lisa B., who is giving us a head start with a $2,000 donation, we are hoping to raise $10,000 from our community for a fourth, full-year grant ahead of Mother’s Day. Help us make a difference. All support in all amounts helps us. The application period for our full-year grants will open soon and be announced at the start of Summer 2024. Grantees will be chosen based on need.
