Investing in Advocacy. Strengthening Child Care. Shaping Georgia’s Future.

Strong child care businesses build strong communities, a resilient workforce, and a thriving state economy. When child care works, everything else works. That is why advocacy is not optional work for our industry; it is essential infrastructure.

The GCCA Projects Fund exists to make sure the voices of Georgia’s licensed child care providers are not just heard, but acted on. Laws, regulations, and funding decisions made at the Capitol directly shape your operating costs, staffing stability, liability exposure, and ability to grow. This fund ensures there is consistent, professional, year-round advocacy focused on protecting your business and strengthening the entire early learning system.

Your investment fuels real outcomes:

• Stable and predictable public funding that mirrors the private market

• Faster and more reliable payment timelines for providers

• Practical licensing and compliance policies shaped by provider experience

• Workforce strategies that make it easier to hire and retain qualified staff

• A unified industry voice that legislators recognize and respect

This is about more than policy papers and meetings. It is about showing up every day with data, stories, and solutions that reflect the realities inside Georgia’s classrooms. It is about making sure decisions are informed by those who actually deliver care and education to children and families.

When you give, you are not donating to an idea. You are investing in direct representation, strategic relationships, and sustained influence. You are helping turn provider insight into state action. You are ensuring that when critical decisions are made, someone is in the room fighting for the viability of your business and the future of early learning.

No single center can do this alone. Together, the industry can.

An investment in GCCA advocacy is an investment in:

• your bottom line

• your workforce

• your families

• and Georgia’s economic future

Join the collective effort to secure smart policy, fair funding, and a strong, sustainable child care sector.
