Why Partner with CARE?

Experience

For almost 65 years CARE has been helping communities around the world successfully move from poverty to self-sufficiency.

Expertise

As one of the largest humanitarian organizations in the world, CARE brings the knowledge, skills and passion of more than 12,000 employees worldwide to the fight against global poverty. In addition, 98 percent of our staff are from the countries where we work, which gives us a true local perspective on both the root problems and the potential solutions to poverty at a local level.

Innovation

We never stop listening or learning. CARE combines lessons from past experience with new ideas from partners (corporate and community). Our forthcoming Innovation Fund is designed specifically to pilot and test new approaches to poverty reduction.

Efficiency

More than 90 percent of CARE's expended resources directly support programs to reduce poverty or for emergency response.

Accountability

CARE meets the stringent standards of the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance and consistently earns excellent reviews from charity watchdogs. Moreover, a 2007 Financial Times poll ranked CARE among the top 10 non-profit organizations worldwide in accountability and effectiveness, as assessed by our corporate partners.

Independence

CARE has always been a private, non-profit organization, unaffiliated with government agencies or religious entities. This allows us to enter into strategic partnerships with multilateral organizations, other NGOs and the U.S. government as opportunities present themselves based on the ability to broaden impact.
