Financial support program for community daycare activities – Component 2: Financial assistance for one-time projects

• The applicant must be a community action organization whose mission is to offer activities or services to families (other than child care).
• The project must be a one-time (occasional) project that complements the organization’s regular community daycare (halte-garderie communautaire) activities.
• The proposed community daycare activities must be secondary to the organization’s broader mission (i.e., accessory to its core mandate).
• The activities must provide temporary, occasional child care intended for parental respite or short-term support, and/or to enable family members to participate in the organization’s activities (or those of its partners).

Who is eligible?

• Community action organizations whose mission is to offer activities or services to families (other than childcare)
• Community organizations providing community daycare (halte-garderie communautaire) activities as a complement to their family-focused services

Who is not eligible

• Organizations whose primary mission is to provide childcare services (i.e., entities focused on childcare rather than offering other family services).

Eligible geographic areas

• All administrative regions of Quebec.

• The program distinguishes community daycare (HGC) from regulated early childhood education and care services, as it is not governed by ministerial directives or a regulation.
• For Component 1, supported organizations must submit an annual progress report and annual accountability documentation to the Ministère de la Famille.
• No call for letters of intent is currently underway.
• The program includes two components: support for regular HGC activities (Component 1) and support for one-time projects complementary to regular HGC activities (Component 2).
