Public Support

On-campus childcare programs are at the intersection of two of the most powerful, cost beneficial engines to our economy-
Higher Education & Quality Childcare.

Studies are clear:
Graduation rates of student parents with childcare are higher. They are more likely to remain in school, graudate in fewer years, have a higher grade point average and demonstrate higher rates of persistence when their childrern are cared for and educated in a quality campus-based children's program.
Children generate $3 to $7 for every $1 invested in quality care.
They are retained in grade less often, need less special education, fewer social services and graduate more often.
They have significantly enhanced lifetime earnings, lower rates of unemployment, fewer teen pregnancies, lower crime rates and fewer incarcerations.

USUAA Gets It!
Early 2008, Senators with the Union of Students at UAA asked what they could do to help Tanaina. The response was financial assistance- more specifically funds to cover future cash flow challenges. Several weeks later and after many hours of work, USUAA responded with a grant of $10,000.

Tanaina's Board of Directors has plans to increase this fund to $15,000 by the of 2008. The funds will be used to increase income in the form of investment income, and utilized during times of monthly cash flow challenges.

Thanks to USUAA for setting the stage for puclic support.
