Global Innovation Hub

CARE staff members celebrate in front of a mural that says,
United States of America

In 2019, CARE USA launched the CARE Global Innovation Hub at our Atlanta headquarters.

The Innovation Hub is both a physical space for working and convening and a catalyst for virtual conversations and collaboration.

In short, the Innovation Hub does three things:

Innovate

We bring proven emergency response policies and programs from around the world to launch in the U.S.

Connect

We house and connect leading organizers, community groups, and experts to solve our most complicated challenges in emergency response, including overcoming gender, race, and health barriers to resources and assistance.

Amplify

We amplify leading voices and ideas around the U.S. and the world through our proven fellowship program and renowned speaker series.

Innovation Hub Partners

The Innovation Hub leases out private office space and event space  at a discounted rate to the Atlanta community so organizations with similar missions can foster a community of changemakers and activists.

CARE Power Panel: Our Monthly Speaker Series

CARE hosts monthly conversations about relevant and compelling topics called the “CARE Power Panel.” In 2023, this series is presented by UPS.

Our panel conversations feature key stakeholders including elected officials, CARE experts, funders, and grassroots organizers. Through these events, CARE looks to highlight the expertise of women, as well as leaders from Black, Indigenous, and communities of color.

As of July 2022, we have hosted 311 speakers — 91% of which have been women — across 107 discussions.

These immersive experiences are a combination of workshops, sites of memory tours, and advocacy work that will provide a space for changemakers to understand complex issues and co-create solutions together.

In 2019, the Innovation Hub launched our Social Justice Experience model which included:
