PROFILE: Established in 1966, Casey Family Programs (CFP) is a private foundation based in Seattle, Washington. This is the foundation of Jim Casey, who founded the United Parcel Service and revolutionized global package delivery. He is the son of Annie E. Casey. The foundation aims to "provide and improve, and ultimately prevent the need for, foster care.” CFP funds local efforts for foster care, children and youth and child welfare.
Casey Family Programs is an organization that engages in consulting, direct services, public policy and research and analysis. Direct services efforts are in both urban and rural communities Washington, California, Arizona, Idaho and Texas. Foundation goals are to develop practical solutions to reduce the need for foster care, improve child wellbeing and secure lifelong families for every child. American Indian and Alaska Native communities are a priority for this funder. CFP collaborates with a broad range of partners to extend its public policy work with all branches of federal, state and local governments. Grants often go towards leadership conferences, child poverty programs, galas, general operating expenses, employee matching gifts and special projects.
