Our Approach

The CARE Fund invests in organizations, campaigns, and coalitions that are at the forefront of impacting systems change in our priority issue areas: paid family and medical leave, early care and education, aging and disability care and improving the quality of care jobs. We concentrate our funding on work that integrates racial, gender, aging, disability, LGBTQ+, and immigrant justice, and that centers the diverse voices of those most impacted by our care crisis.

 

Our grants build the cohesion, capacity and power of the care movement; promote policy change and implementation that undo the legacies of oppression in our care systems; and change the way our culture and society values care and caregivers. We invest in these strategies nationally and directly in two strategic states, New Mexico and Michigan.
