A Network for Utah Businesses

The Family-Forward Employer Network

Turn Utah's new employer child care tax credit into real savings for your business — and real support for your employees. Join a cohort of Utah businesses acting in the credit's first year.

The Reality Utah Employers Are Already Paying For

Utah families and employers lose $1.36 billion annually due to child care challenges — costs that show up every day in absenteeism, turnover, reduced productivity, and difficulty recruiting talent. The new employer tax credit makes it possible to act, and the Family-Forward Employer Network makes it easy.

For every $1.00 a small business invests in employee child care, combined state and federal tax credits plus business expense deductions can recover up to $0.88 for a small business and $0.65 for a large employer.
