The Finance Project & The Afterschool Investments Project

The Finance Project supports state and local leaders in developing strategic financing and sustainability plans. This technical assistance and related tools and materials can be used to support the financing of a QRIS, and includes fiscal mapping, costing out infrastructure and services, and utilizing a range of financing strategies.

The Afterschool Investments Project has developed resources and information on designing a QRIS to include school age providers. AIP has facilitated audio-conferences, focus groups and state planning efforts to develop quality standards specific to school-age care that are aligned with QRIS standards and that support school-age program participation.
