Who We Are

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 raises awareness about “care movement” policies and programs to support caregivers, such as employer leadership, unpaid labor, caregiving, paid family leave, and robust childcare options.

After seven years of research and development, Eve Rodsky introduced Fair Play, a game-changing system to help partners share what it takes to run a house and family more equitably. Eve Rodsky wrote the book Fair Play in 2019, soon followed by a podcast and the FAIR PLAY documentary, to amplify the importance of the care movement.

The mission, programs, and focus of the Institute are not on the Fair Play book (or the associated podcast or documentary); instead, the Institute focuses on raising awareness of the “care movement.”

The care movement seeks to raise public awareness of the need for “care justice,” which includes but is not limited to raising awareness of the undervaluation of care work, the lack of affordable care, and the importance of care for the health and well-being of the general public.
