Pueblo Day Nursery Children's Foundation Grant

The Pueblo Day Nursery Children's Foundation Grant, established in 1926, supports tax-exempt organizations benefiting children in Pueblo, Colorado. The Foundation seeks specific project funding that directly impacts the community, with a focus on those that care for children of working parents. Organizations can submit one request annually, and the Foundation does not fund discriminatory practices or certain types of grants, such as to individuals or for religious projects.

The Pueblo Day Nursery Children's Foundation is a private, grant making foundation, incorporated under Colorado law to benefit the children of the City and County of Pueblo, only.
Pueblo Day Nursery Children's Foundation has a very rich history. The Day Nursery was started in 1926 by Beta Tau Delta, a national sorority made up of prominent local young women. After several years the sorority members decided to withdraw from Beta Tau Delta and to form the Pueblo Service League.
The mission of the Nursery beginning in 1926 was to fill an important need in Pueblo: to provide a place to care for children of working mothers and wifeless fathers. From caring for six children in 1926, the Nursery was at full capacity in 1976, serving 126 children.
