Awarded Projects

The Case for Childcare Collaborative formed in 2022 to explore the business case for supporting childcare. In February 2024 a comprehensive website was launched to showcase data, success stories, and policy recommendations, underscoring an equitable childcare system’s critical role in supporting families, communities, and the economy. The Collaborative expanded its work this year to explore childcare-for-all benefits centered on frontline, gig, and hourly workers. Childcare solutions will also be featured at the upcoming NationSwell Summit with a panel discussion presented by Pivotal Ventures.

Place-Based Impact is a Collaborative focused on place-based approaches to community development. Through insights and case studies featured on the funder’s guide website, the Collaborative provides practical guidance and real stories of impact in action to inspire more funding that is community-led, place-specific and long term. Forging a new standard in collaborative impact, the work continues to build a leading community of practice around place-based philanthropy.

Civics Inc. was released in May 2024 to empower organizations in supporting civic engagement through insights, tools, and shared knowledge from our community of practice. By advancing civic education and participation, Civics Inc. provides a strategic framework to help employers customize their efforts to contribute to a democratic society.
