Let’s Build Endless Opportunities for Future Generations
As a hub for workforce development and a childcare center, this community space will support today’s workers while preparing the workers of the future. The multi-generational approach pairs workforce training with affordable and high-quality early childhood care and education. This Center is an investment in existing infrastructure that will revitalize our communities and support our region for years to come. Together, we can make it a reality.
A Sustainable Future
Recognizing the costs associated with owning the land and building, United Way of Southwest Virginia has included a $5 million endowment in the budget. This amount will cover annual utility, maintenance, and repair expenses, as well as a portion of the programming costs.
Projected Budget
This is estimated to be a $25,015,000 capital project. That includes the facility and land purchase, renovation, design expenses, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Several notable investments have been secured for the capital campaign. We are asking our community to help us raise $3,471,000 through charitable gifts.
