Founded in 1991, First Children’s Finance (FCF) is a national nonprofit that helps children, families, and communities thrive by increasing the availability, affordability, and quality of early care and education. First Children’s Finance accomplishes this in three different ways: building the financial sustainability of child care entrepreneurs, partnering with communities to preserve and grow their child care supply, and influencing state and federal systems to provide supports and investments needed to sustain child care businesses.

First Children’s Finance has been in a state of rapid growth and has twice doubled in size over the past 3-4 year period. In support of this growth, First Children’s Finance is seeking its first Chief States Officer, a newly created position to expand the capacity of the Executive Team. The Chief States Officer will play a critical role as the hub between the national office and regional state offices. The Chief States Officer will provide direct supervision and support to state directors, and further build the infrastructure to support FCF’s continued national growth.
