The Thriving Families CA (TFC) Foundation is dedicated to strengthening families via connections to child care and other essential services that are critical to breaking the cycle of poverty and achieving economic self-sufficiency. Our community-based programs and services are located in each of California’s 58 counties and are uniquely positioned to address the complex and evolving needs of underserved and marginalized populations. Every day, our membership verifies and provides subsidies for tens of thousands of impoverished working families to access child care needed to support employment and a robust workforce, as well as comprehensive wraparound supports—including food security, stable housing, transportation, mental health services, domestic violence intervention, home visiting, health care access, legal assistance, and immigration support. Learn more about our network of 70+ public and private community-based organizations here.

Child Action, Inc. (CAI) is a private, non-profit corporation founded in 1976 to promote the education and social welfare of children and families and to advocate on their behalf. Our programs include resource and referral services for families seeking child care, child care subsidies for qualifying families, recruitment and professional development of the child care workforce, and family education and support.
Our goal is to partner with families and assist them in the care and education of their children and to advocate beside them in support of their concerns.

“Child care fuels Sacramento County’s economy—supporting families, strengthening our workforce, and driving growth. Last year, we supported nearly 17,000 children and over 9,000 families, generating up to $2 billion in economic impact. Expanding access to quality child care is one of the smartest investments we can make for our region’s future. Quality child care impacts everything.”
