Why Blend & Braid funds?

Blending and braiding allows multiple funding streams to be used to fund or supplement child care costs. Our platform gives you insight into cost-allocation to prevent duplicate funding and ensure that funding is effectively distributed. Federal, state, and local policymakers and program administrators can use the data generated in our platform to analyze funding streams and impact.

One streamlined application

Families can apply for multiple subsidies through one application and be screened simultaneously to get more comprehensive funding quickly.

Reduce administrative burden on providers

Rather than tracking multiple funding sources for one child, providers receive one payment, similar to private pay children.

Maximize the impact of available funds

Families can apply for multiple funding streams at once. State administrators are able to identify families who require additional assistance and fund them accordingly. When future funds are available, these families can be contacted to re-apply.
