Who We Are

The Fair Play Policy Institute is a private foundation aiming to advance equity with a focus on “care justice” (i.e., equitable caregiving in America).

The Institute provides programming and grants to non-profit organizations working on improving how we care for each other. In so doing, the Institute uses tools to help individuals and communities build support systems and raise awareness about “care movement” policies and programs to support caregivers, such as employer leadership, unpaid labor, caregiving, paid family leave, and robust childcare options.
