First Children’s Finance is a nonprofit financial services organization that supports the growth of early care and education across the United States by enhancing access to affordable, high-quality child care. It does this by delivering financial and business-development assistance to child care businesses serving low- and moderate-income families, and by providing consulting and planning support to government agencies, intermediaries and regional child care groups. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with regional offices in Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota, it operates as a Community Development Financial Institution and lends in ten states, including Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin.

It serves child care providers as its primary customers, along with public and nonprofit partners involved in planning and sustainability of early childhood programs. The organization situates itself in the financial services and community development field, focusing on expanding access to reliable child care for families in low- and moderate-income communities. A recent development includes a partnership with Northwest Minnesota Foundation in March 2025 to create a fully virtual version of the workshop tailored specifically for child care providers.
