Greater Roanoke Early Childhood Fiscal and Resource Survey

Greater Roanoke Early Childhood Leaders,

Smart Beginnings Greater Roanoke is conducting an Early Childhood Fiscal and Resource Mapping project to describe and analyze strengths and gaps in our community’s funding and resources of early childhood/school readiness programs. We are seeking data from all organizations, public and private, that offer any services targeted to the birth-to-five population. Your responses to the attached survey will allow us to fully describe the financial resources devoted to promoting early childhood development in the Greater Roanoke Area.

We hope you will agree to provide this information, which is essential to planning future steps in building an effective system of school readiness initiatives for our community.

Matt Miller, of the Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission is the consultant coordinating our project. Following completion of the survey, he will follow up with each of you to clarify your information and give you the opportunity to elaborate on and help interpret your data.  He will then organize results from all respondents into a report for Smart Beginnings.
Please fill out a new survey for each program.  This online survey allows you to list up to five funding sources for each program. If you have more than five, just repeat the survey when done to add the additional sources.

This first page asks for current fiscal information relating to your program. You will need to fill out a new survey for each program.   List the up to five funding source(s) for each of your early childhood programs in the relevant section (federal, state, local or private), then fill in the budgeted current year amount from each source. Add the data about projected number of children served.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!
