Our supporters are critical to building momentum and enthusiasm for new systems of care anchored in public support. Together, Caring Across Generations and our champions are building a powerful movement pushing for accessible care support systems for everyone living in the U.S.
We work across policy, narrative and culture change, and in coalition spaces to demand investments in paid leave for all, affordable child care, and accessible home and community-based services for older adults and disabled people.
Our work is made possible by key champions like the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, RRF Foundation for Aging, and the Care for All with Respect and Equity (CARE) Fund. Special thanks to the Ford Foundation, which has anchored our strategic capacity development through the BUILD grant.
In 2018, we created our Care Fellowship to empower caregivers to advocate for themselves. Fellows have led our Get Out the Vote efforts, advocated for care issues directly with lawmakers, and were even featured in high-profile media.
Care Can’t Wait is a national coalition, led by Caring Across and made up of dozens of partner organizations, building toward federal investments in aging and disability care, child care, paid leave and wages for care workers.
We work with local partners in CA, GA, IL, and MI to advocate for legislation across the care pillars, build our bench of state-based care activists, make care a topic in local and state elections, and strengthen state-based care supports.
We invest in research that provides a clear sense of people’s attitudes on care to illuminate where and how we need to shift mindsets to transform cultural norms and behaviors.
We transform norms and narratives surrounding care, reaching tens of millions of caregivers and care recipients through impact campaigns, content creation, visual art, cultural organizing, and more.
Changing narratives and policies to improve systems of care requires long-term organizing and collaboration. Our champions are critical to building momentum and enthusiasm for changing our nation’s systems of care to work for everyone.
