OVERBROOK LITTLE
Learners CEO Rasheda Allen
was ecstatic when she learned
she had received a forgivable
loan for her business.

Overbrook Little Learners
is one of 54 child care centers
in the Philadelphia area to
receive financial support from
the Pennsylvania 30 Day Fund,
a nonprofit founded by Jeff
Brown, Jeff Bartos, Richard
Phillips and Roger Braunfeld in
response to economic hardship
caused by the coronavirus
pandemic and civil unrest.

“We are immensely grateful
to PA 30 Day Fund for the
financial support during this
time. Many other centers
have been forced to close due
to significant loss of private
tuition, enrollment and healthy
staffing; however, because of
this forgivable loan, we don’t
have to,” Allen said.

PA 30 Day Fund, which
announced its child care
support initiative on Nov. 24,
aims to provide 1,000 forgiv-
able loans, each in the amount
of $3,000, to small businesses
across Pennsylvania by Dec. 31.

Brown and Bartos, who
are Jewish, said the fund has
distributed 670 forgivable
loans to businesses in nearly
every Pennsylvania county.

The additional 54 child care
loans, which totaled $162,000,
bring the number to 724.
