Pie for Providers is an open-source, non-profit project focused on supporting child care providers and the families who rely on them. Our work was incubated at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and has been nationally recognized by organizations like OpenIDEO and Promise Venture Studio. Pie for Providers helps small child care providers and families claim the government funding for which they are already eligible. Today, 85% of eligible children do not claim this funding. This means families struggle to afford care and child care providers - small, women-owned businesses - do not get paid for their work. The current public health crisis threatens to wipe out 30%+ of child care businesses, making this project even more urgent. We're building a Rails and React app to help child care providers claim and manage their government subsidy funding. We need great volunteer developers and designers to make this vision a reality.
