    The Durham Foundation Community Childcare Assistance Pass-Through Fund

    The Durham Foundation partnered with the Montgomery County Community Foundation to create a community pass-through fund for childcare assistance.  Working parents facing unexpected challenges securing care for their children is a real issue in our community.  Illness, layoffs, or sudden loss of a family caregiver can be devastating for both parents and  children.   The Durham Foundation Community Childcare Assistance Pass-Through fund provides short-term financial support to nonprofit, licensed, care providers on behalf of working families in crisis.  


    Your support will help provide a safety net for local families when they need it most.

    Thank you Caryn Heisel and HHSB!

     The Durham Foundation Associate Board Member, Caryn Heisel, was recently honored by her fellow Hoosier Heartland State Bank employees, as first runner up of the bank’s 2025 Vision Award to go to the nonprofit of her choice. Caryn directed her $5,000 award to the The Durham Foundation Community Childcare Assistance Pass Through Fund.


    We are so grateful to Caryn and to HHSB for their generous donation that advances the fund's growth to help working parents with the costs of quality early learning childcare.
