Building an Inclusive Future: Marguerite Casey Foundation Raises $130M to Empower Underrepresented Communities

Marguerite Casey Foundation is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking funding milestone as we successfully raised $130,000,000, a testament to our unwavering commitment to reshaping our nation's future by placing the needs of excluded and underrepresented communities at the forefront of policy and economic reform. Our mission is clear and resolute: we strive for a country where government not only acknowledges but prioritizes the voices and aspirations of families and communities long marginalized by systemic inequities. This significant injection of funds will empower us to further our vision—a world where democracy and the economy are truly reflective of the contributions, dreams, and desires of historically excluded groups, ensuring that their representation extends beyond numbers to meaningful influence and shared decision-making. Every dollar of this funding supports our core values of belonging and representation, trust, and mutual respect. By intentionally identifying and dismantling the deep-rooted systems of racism and white supremacy, we seek to create spaces where dignity and justice permeate every facet of society. The raised funds enable us to invest in critical programs and initiatives designed to amplify the voices of those who have been sidelined, ensuring that their narratives shape policy, cultural discourse, and ultimately, a fair and just society. As we embark on this transformative journey, we remain dedicated to transparency, accountability, and building relationships grounded in mutual respect. This milestone marks a pivotal moment in our work, reinforcing our belief that when communities are entrusted with the power to shape their destiny, we all move closer to a truly inclusive democracy and economy.
