This includes child care, elder care, health care, domestic work, disability care, and more. Why the care economy? The care economy relies disproportionately on women and other people of marginalized genders to perform both paid and unpaid care work.

This imbalance is a key driver of gender inequity. Through multi-year general operating grants and strategic capacity building, GEEP invests in the knowledge, leadership, and solutions of care-sector organizations working to create more equitable and inclusive models. GEEP is made possible through the generous support of Vanguard.
