ELF Financing Strategy San Mateo County ELF Study‐2016 February 21, 2017 Prepared by Brion Economics Team Final Report 21 they will directly provide funding for ELFs, but they might assist in an effort to procure funding from their partners for missions that they feel align with supporting the development of ELFs in order to help offset the costs of development. In 2016, CEL convened a task force consisting of a cross‐section of San Mateo County and Bay Area leaders from the government, housing, education, business, faith‐based, and non‐profit sectors to address the urgent need for appropriate child care facilities in the region. The task force acknowledged several challenges and a number of potential solutions to address them. The number one challenge the task force identified as a priority is: “There is not a single public or private entity that has the responsibility to address the need for more early care and learning facilities in San Mateo County. In order to address this challenge, the task force recommends the designation of a staff person whose primary role would be to focus on the following key strategy areas: 1. Generating revenue for facility development  Priority Recommendation: School districts should pursue bond measures to raise funds for child care development 2. Reusing/re‐designating existing space  Priority Recommendation: San Mateo County cities, school districts, etc. should prioritize unused existing space for early care and learning facilities 3. Implementing policies and incentives  Priority Recommendation: Cities should include child care in their General Plans and prioritize inclusion of child care in future developments SVCF partners with families, individuals and corporations to manage and facilitate their philanthropy.

On their website they state, “We want to help provide every student, and every teacher, the opportunity to excel, and that means developing systems that meet students where they are and take them where they want to go, adapting to their academic interests and supporting their physical, social and emotional development along the way. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is already helping to build and deploy such personalized models and tools, empowering communities to give each child the education they deserve.”21 20 Ibid. 21 Chan Zuckerberg Initiative website, viewed January 13, 2017. https://chanzuckerberg.com/initiatives/ 8.C. - Page 40
