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
  • 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.
 

We invest in these strategies globally, nationally and directly in two states, New Mexico and Michigan.
