CARE works around the globe to save lives and defeat poverty.
Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere Inc’s largest recent awards went to Save the Children Federation Inc, including $5.9 million in 2024 and $5.4 million in another 2024 grant, with a $4.3 million grant in 2023. Those awards point to a funder that uses large institutional grants to support humanitarian work at scale. The foundation’s giving also reaches major relief and development organizations such as Catholic Relief Services Usccb Inc, Wateraid America Inc, and Mercy Corps International, alongside research and implementation partners like The Johns Hopkins University and Howard Delafield International. Across the recent grants list, its portfolio aligns with crisis and disaster response, food and water, health, education and skills, economic growth, and women and girls. The foundation supports both emergency relief and longer-term development work, and the grant record includes programs tied to WASH, maternal and reproductive health, livelihoods, and gender equality. The presence of repeat awards to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024 suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere Inc also makes program-related investments, indicating a structure that can extend beyond standard grants.
In water supply and sanitation, Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere Inc gave $2,185,708 in 2024 to Wateraid America Inc and another $1,256,769 in 2024 to the same organization, both tied to WASH work. In crisis response, it awarded $2,175,423 in 2024 to Catholic Relief Services Usccb Inc and $908,344 in 2024 to Mercy Corps International, showing sustained support for emergency and recovery work. Health and technical assistance also appear in the grant list. The foundation gave $892,473 in 2024 to The Johns Hopkins University and $1,114,790 in 2024 to Howard Delafield International, both associated with health-related programming in the dataset. Education and skills development is represented by $755,503 in 2024 to International Youth Foundation, a grant that sits alongside other development-oriented awards. Women and girls remain a core lens across the taxonomy, with the foundation’s named focus areas and beneficiary tags pointing to gender equality programming as part of its broader humanitarian and long-term development approach.

Typical grant size ranges from a p25 of $45,000 to a median of $165,894 and a p75 of $594,695, so the portfolio includes many smaller awards alongside a substantial share of larger institutional grants. The recent record also shows repeat support to the same recipients across years, especially in 2023 and 2024, which points to ongoing grant relationships rather than one-off gifts. Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere Inc is a regular funder and does not fund individuals. It also makes program-related investments, which signals flexibility in how capital is deployed.
