The CARE Fund is a unique philanthropic collaboration focused on improving the livelihoods of paid and unpaid caregivers and the quality of care for all who need it, across generations.

Why Care - Why Now

Throughout our lives, we all will give or receive care, and we will benefit from the care of loved ones or professional care workers. Yet, the lack of a comprehensive public care system makes it hard for individuals and families to give or receive the care that they need.

It doesn’t need to be this way.

That is why a diverse and growing group of funders have joined forces to build the power of the care movement– to win care for all with respect and equity. We are pooling resources to help build the political will for bold public investment in paid family and medical leave, early care and education, aging and disability care, and quality care jobs.

In this consequential moment for our democracy, our work is more important now than ever.

We hope you will join us.

The CARE Fund
Believes in:

CARE FOR ALL

We value and amplify the voices and leadership of all who give and receive care: parents, family caregivers, and professionals who work in early care and education, aging, and disability care. We believe all families and individuals deserve high-quality care that support them to thrive and live with dignity.

RESPECT

Our care workforce — many of whom are immigrants and women of color — deserve living wages and benefits. Care systems and services must recognize our interdependence and be rooted in respect and self-determination for all.

EQUITY

An equitable care economy must undo the legacies of racism, slavery, xenophobia, sexism, ageism and ableism that have devalued care for all. We believe care systems and services should be affordable and accessible to all of our families and communities.
