At the Bainum Family Foundation, our vision is a society where all children thrive.
For more than five decades, we’ve invested in the well-being of children and families, evolving our strategy over the years to reflect new thinking, learning, and changing community needs.
Our work focuses on disrupting the current obstacles that impede too many children’s development and well-being throughout the United States. Far too often, these children and their families have not had access to resources and a say in the decisions that impact their lives.
We know there is tremendous power, expertise, and lived experience within every community. The adults who nurture young children — family members, teachers and other trusted caregivers — want the best for their children and actively seek the solutions and conditions they need to thrive. We come alongside our partner communities, building on those strengths to create lasting systems change.
The Bainum Family Foundation and Children’s Equity Fund is comprised of staff that reflect a cross-section of rich and diverse voices formed from their deep and varied backgrounds. Though we come from different places, we stand together on the core values of Commitment, Integrity, Continuous Learning, and Collaboration, and the behaviors that bring these values to life. We embody these principles in all our work, and in our partnerships with communities, to co-create a society in which all young children thrive. This way of working, and being, allows us to actively strive for a culture that is welcoming, creates equal access to opportunities, fosters trust, embraces change, values feedback, and promotes well-being.
The work of both the foundation and our 501(c)(4) sister organization, the Children’s Equity Fund (CEF), is structured through a portfolio of interconnected initiatives, this person may be assigned to any of the foundation or CEF’s initiatives based on initiative cycles and evolving organizational needs. All staff play a role in learning and purposefully managing knowledge to further both organizations’ Missions and Visions. Therefore, we expect all staff to gather, care for, use and openly share knowledge in ways that support shared learning and amplify community expertise.
