With support from the Care for All with Respect and Equity (CARE) Fund, Asset Funders Network, Disability & Philanthropy Forum, Early Childhood Funders Collaborative, Economic Opportunity Funders, Grantmakers In Aging, and Grantmakers In Health joined together to develop a national landscape analysis of narrative change and strategic communications efforts across the care economy, including child care and early learning, paid family and medical leave, and long- term services and supports for older adults and people with disabilities, with a focus on users of care, paid care workers, and unpaid family and friend caregivers.
Data was collected from January-June 2023 through online research, a funder survey, field interviews, and a funder focus group and used to help inform our report, The Story of Care: A Snapshot of the Care Narrative Change Landscape, and the table of projects below.
