Who We Are

Provider Services Fund (PSF) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to achieve solutions that will make child care more sustainable throughout Oregon. At PSF, we care deeply for our child care providers and understand the challenges they are faced with every day. To help run sustainable, high quality programs, we are utilizing our board and staff members who have direct experience educating young children and running successful child care programs or representing and advocating for the needs of child care providers.

The Provider Services Fund is guided by a dedicated Board of Trustees committed to strengthening the child care field in Oregon. Our Board brings together expertise from labor, early childhood education, and grassroots caregiving to ensure that our work remains rooted in community and equity.
