Investing in Care Across the Lifespan: Philanthropic Strategies from Childhood to Aging
Join us for a timely and practical webinar tailored to grantmakers and philanthropic leaders committed to strengthening the care economy—from early childhood to aging and everything in between.
As our nation grapples with increasing demands for accessible, high-quality, and equitable care, philanthropy has a critical role to play in advancing lasting solutions. This session will feature national experts who are leading efforts in research, strategy, and public funding across the care economy. They’ll share key lessons from recent years and what funders need to know now to inform their giving. Why it matters:
- Unpaid caregivers—primarily women—contribute $873.5 billion in labor annually.
- The paid care sector is rapidly expanding: U.S. home care alone is projected to exceed $107B in 2025.
- Child care gaps cost the U.S. economy $122B a year in lost productivity.
- Investing just 2% of GDP in care could create millions of jobs and boost long-term economic resilience.
- Philanthropic investment in care fuels economic equity, strengthens families, builds community infrastructure, and drives sustainable economic growth.
