About Family Values Work A Multi-State Consortium
Family Values Work a Multi-state Consortium directs seven-figure grantmaking toward coalitions pushing paid family and medical leave, paid sick and safe days, affordable childcare, and related workplace policy change. In the recent grants list, the largest award was $460,000 to 9to5 National Assoc of Working in Milwaukee for "promote policies to value families at work," and the organization repeated that support in later years with grants of $392,800 and $372,000. The pattern points to a funder that works through state and local partners rather than individual direct service programs, using grants to sustain policy advocacy, grassroots organizing, regranting, and technical assistance across a national network. The consortium’s grantmaking is not limited to one state or one kind of intermediary. It has backed statewide advocacy organizations such as Mothering Justice, Family Forward Oregon, Women Employed, New Jersey Citizen Action Edu, and the Economic Opportunity Institute, alongside public-policy and education funds and other coalition-based recipients. Several grantees appear in multiple years, which suggests ongoing relationships built around recurring campaign work rather than one-time project support. The grant descriptions also stay tightly aligned with work-family policy goals, especially those affecting working families, parents and caregivers, and low- and middle-income workers.

A core theme in the recent grants is paid family and medical leave and paid sick and safe days.

It also supported Women Employed in Chicago with $186,000 in 2023, $178,000 in 2024, and $171,000 in 2025 for policy work tied to families at work. Childcare and broader care-policy advocacy also appear in the grant list. Family Forward Oregon in Portland received $230,000 in 2023, $218,000 in 2024, and $215,350 in 2025 to promote policies to value families at work. New Jersey Citizen Action Edu in Newark received $159,800 in 2023, $170,950 in 2024, and $175,350 in 2025 for the same policy purpose. These repeated awards show support for coalition campaigns that build over time.
