Fiscal On-Demand Sessions for Tribal Lead Agencies

The Fiscal On-Demand Sessions for Tribal Lead Agencies, available 24/7 at any time you wish to watch the session, are designed to increase understanding of key fiscal management topics related to the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) program. Two of the sessions offer an in-depth look into the basics of fiscal management and justification of CCDF expenses. The final three sessions demonstrate technical assistance tools that can be useful for Tribal Lead Agencies while budgeting and projecting spending for direct services. The technical assistance tools used in these sessions are available upon request through contacting your Office of Child Care regional office. Your National Center on Tribal Early Childhood Development Technical Assistance Specialist will be happy to walk you through using and adapting this tool for your own program.
