AriCares Childcare Center Construction Funding & Partnership Strategy

By the end of this project, the consultant will deliver a comprehensive construction fundraising and partnership strategy for the AriCares Pottstown childcare facility.

The strategy should include recommended funding approaches; identification and prioritization of potential corporate, philanthropic, and community partners; strategies for securing donated or discounted construction labor, materials, architectural services, and professional services; sponsorship and partnership recommendations; outreach strategies; and a structured plan for approaching prospective partners.

The final deliverable should provide AriCares with a clear, actionable roadmap for securing the financial and in-kind resources needed to complete the facility buildout and move the Pottstown center toward opening.
