Presentation Transcript

  1. Re-alignment and Re-purposing: How can states maximize existing funding to support cross-sector QRIS? Finance Learning Table, Session 4 Louise Stoney and Anne Mitchell Alliance for Early Childhood Finance

  2. Key Principles • Most states already spend $ to improve the quality of ECE settings • Often these dollars are scattered across a range of initiatives with different goals, strategies, target populations • QRIS can be a framework for aligning these dollars so that the various parts of the system begin to move in the same direction

  3. Remember that… • Resources can be people as well as dollars (e.g. where and how can staff be re-directed?) • Resources can come from a wide range of agencies – not just CCDF or TANF • Resources can be public or private (e.g. how can I get my private sector funders on board?)

  4. Think Systems When developing strategies to re-purpose dollars focus on crafting supports in a systems-building manner that creates incentives to: • Participate in QRIS • Improve program quality • Strengthen (and measure) outcomes for children

  5. Re-Structuring/Re-Purposing Funding for QRIS

  6. Making the Case: Current CCDF $ Must be Re-Purposed

  7. Making the Case:Using the CEM to understand trade-offs
