01What it does

What Family Values Work a Multi-State Consortium does

Mission

Grantmaking and technical support to movement network organizations focused on paid leave, paid sick and safe time, child care and other equitable and just care policies

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Family values @ work is a movement network of more than 2,000+ grassroots activists, business owners and non-profit organizations in over two dozen states working toward economic, racial and gender justice. We have united activists and workers, lifting up their voices in key states and localities focused on winning policies that support workers and families. We confront this nation's long history of coerced and underpaid caregiving labor and counter it with demands for an economy based on care and equity. We fight for family supporting policies because we know that the building blocks of upward economic mobility-job retention, raises, promotions, and asset development- depend on access to paid family and medical leave, paid sick days and affordable child care. When taking time for caregiving leads to loss of a job or pay, economic opportunity dries up. Access to paid leave and child care improves family economic stability and opportunity, gender and racial equity, and public and individual health. Women, low-wage workers, workers of color and lgbtq+ workers are often trapped in a revolving door of economic instability due to a lack of national standards around strong care economy…

  3. A major campaign that was in planning stages that will be fully launched in 2024-2025 is the new ecosystem work: supporting policy ecosystems to make children and families a priority. Fvaw will be a co-anchor of this work that will support organizations around the country to work towards long term goals that include: 1) strengthen and reinforce advocated connections working in child advocacy and economic inclusion and in ways that apply a structural racism lens; 2) evolve existing infrastructure to advance long term strategic approaches that stitch together domains of naratives and policy change to center the well being of children and families; 3) influence the national conversation so that children's issues are seen as economic issues and vice-versa; 4) build power at the community, state, and regional level to ensure advocates are centering their work around the needs of families; and 5) support catalytic policy changes at the state level that enable the conditions to create a more inclusive economy.

The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $7,508,737.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 17 funders, grant income rose $3.5M → $5.2M.

15 of 49 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $44k from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest Family Values Work a Multi-State Consortium). These are real filings, and they are not money FAMILY VALUES WORK A MULTI-STATE CONSORTIUM raised.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
