Global Leaders Network

View of the Washington Monument and the National Mall

CARE’s 75th Anniversary is an opportunity to remind ourselves of what we’re capable of as Americans, who we can be, and what we can offer the world.

For more than 75 years, the United States has led efforts to promote peace, prosperity, and shared values to foster global stability. CARE was founded in the wake of World War II, when Americans came together to send CARE Packages® to help feed families and rebuild cities across war-ravaged Europe. Today, CARE works in more than 100 countries to empower women and girls to lift their communities out of poverty and advance equality and justice around the world.

The Global Leaders Network is an active community of Fortune 50 business leaders, national security experts, diplomats, and elected officials – part of a nationwide network of leaders committed to investing in women and girls as a force multiplier for change.

At this important moment for CARE – and for the world – we hope you will consider joining this group of committed global citizens in Washington, DC.
