Access to quality childcare is essential for strong, vibrant rural communities. When we discovered that majority of rural children in the Canadian prairies live in what’s called a “daycare desert”, we felt the need to step in.
We are proud to announce our 2026 Rural Daycare Grant Program, an effort to help strengthen childcare options in the rural communities where our employees live and work. This effort is in alignment with Croptimistic’s sustainability strategy, and is a key part of our commitment to rural vitality and employee support.
Our Rural Daycare Grant Program will give out three grants to chosen applicants: $2,500, $1,500, and $1,000. Grant selection will be made by our Rural Daycare Campaign volunteer committee.
