The Early On Michigan Foundation recommends an incremental increase in state funding along with phased-in system change for Early On over the next three years in order to align eligibility, strengthen personnel standards, and increase support for our youngest children with delays and disabilities.  For FY 23 this includes a recommendation for funding through the State Aid Act of $28 million (an increase of $14 million from current year).

FY 23 Recommendation

While there are Early On success stories, funding for Early On is not adequate to meet the needs of all eligible infants and toddlers and their families throughout Michigan.  You can help in any of the following ways:

1. Share information with your State Representative and/or State Senator about the need for state funding for Early On.  Early On uses evidence-based practices in working with families.  Research, talking points, and State Representative/Senator contact information are available under the Resources tab.
2. Get involved.  Volunteer to serve on your Early On local interagency coordinating council.  Contact information for your Early On Coordinator is listed here.
3. Donate to the Early On Michigan Foundation.  Your tax-deductible contribution will provide resources toward strengthening Early On and establishing state funding for Early On.  Donating is easy online or by writing a check to the Early On Michigan Foundation and sending it to the address below.
