Foundation
Marguerite Casey Foundation is dedicated to creating a movement of low-income, working families advocating on their own behalf. We strive to bring humility and hope to our work. Our actions are guided by the firm belief that significant positive change in policies affecting health care, child care, education, affordable housing, job training, criminal justice, community safety and immigration is not only possible, but absolutely necessary. Within this framework, we seek to do the following:
- Support and nurture strong, vibrant activism within and among families, enabling them to advocate for their own interests and improve the public and private system.
- Inform the advancement of social and economic policies that promote the development of strong families and safe communities.
- Develop a coherent knowledge base for advocates, families and the organizations that serve them.
- Invest in change within and across systems to provide effective models and generate greater knowledge.
