We've got terrific news that the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation has agreed to support free TA to NH child care programs to determine if they may be eligible for the Employee Retention Credit (ERC)!  An average size child care program might be eligible for as much as $100,000 in federal $ - no strings attached.  So, let's find out if you qualify.  The ERC applies equally to nonprofit and privately-owned child care programs.  One exception: the ERC cannot be claimed by sole proprietors who only employ people related to them (including themselves).  If you are a sole proprietor and have W-2 employees not related to you, you may be eligible for the ERC.

Child care programs can qualify in several different ways: either for revenue reduction OR for closure between March 26 and June 15, 2020 OR if there was a local order to close or reduce your capacity. 

Please take a minute or two to fill out the information below so we can quickly get in contact with you.  There's support for up to 100 programs right now, so we're glad you're here filling out this form!  :) 

Please know that if there are more than 100 requests, we will be sure to continue to look for support so that every NH child care program could get a shot at finding out if they qualify for these federal $.

Early Learning NH, the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund, and the State Early Learning Alliance (SELA) are partnering with Civitas Strategies Early Start on this project.  8 NH ERC coaches have been trained.  There’s a zoom call recording on the ERC and a published ERC guide directly focused on NH child care programs.  Both are posted at earlylearningnh.org (see the August 25 meeting on the meetings archive page).
 
THANK YOU for answering the quick questions below.  We will be right back in touch!
 
FYI, if you use a payroll service or a CPA, they may likely be able to determine if you are eligible and can submit the relevant 941-X forms for you for a minimum fee - like $250 or so.  (BE SURE to tell them about the March 26-June 15 NH child care closure dates and about the local order, if there was one).  Again, we can still help you for free before reaching out to your payroll service or CPA if that will be helpful.
  
Cheers,
Jackie Cowell,
