In 2019, we launched a unique partnership with two other funders, First 5 Sonoma County and the Healthcare Foundation of Northern Sonoma County, to launch Resilient Organizations: Sustainable, Impactful, Effective (ROSIE). The ROSIE program was established to provide grant funding and peer collaboration opportunities for early childhood education organizations to work together to strengthen their programs. It also included professional coaching support from Fiscal Management Associates (FMA), who guided leaders through an assessment of their organization’s current infrastructure and conducted a financial trends analysis for each organization, creating an action plan to set the stage for long-term sustainability.
Local leaders in the field, representing Community Action Partnership of Sonoma County, La Luz Center, Petaluma People Services Center, Extended Child Care Coalition, North Bay Children’s Center, Child Parent Institute, and Community Child Care Council (4Cs), joined forces to collaborate in the process.
