With support from the Care for All with Respect and Equity (CARE) Fund, a group of six philanthropy support organizations (PSOs) – Asset Funders Network, Economic Opportunity Funders, Early Childhood Funders Collaborative, Grantmakers In Aging, Grantmakers In Health, and Disability & Philanthropy Forum – have agreed to collaborate 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.
The PSO collaborative has hired consultants Padmini Parthasarathy, Sāmya Strategies, and Julie Kashen, Kashen Consulting to conduct this analysis. Final products are expected to be completed in late 2023 and may include a searchable table of projects and publications, short summary of findings with data visualizations, and a national webinar to share the project findings.
