Professionals Who Care
is the first 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States
focused on the intersection of caregiving and working.
- There is a silent and growing crisis in the workplace that has widespread effects.
- The crisis affects our nation's health, well-being, and financial security.
- PWC focuses on the inclusivity of the tens of millions of caregivers in the workplace.
- Despite the high numbers belonging to this identity, their treatment, outcomes, and value are unrecognized and overlooked.
- PWC gives a voice to employed caregivers, who often are not able to speak up for fear of risking the health of their loved ones receiving care.
- When we come together as caregivers and allies, it is good for business and a better future for us all.
