Mission Statement

Our mission is to achieve sustainable solutions to complex social problems by investing in collaboration, leadership, and entrepreneurship.

 

 

Jean and Steve Case founded the Case Foundation in 1997 to reflect their family's heartfelt commitment to finding lasting solutions to complex social challenges. Today, the foundation is pursuing a number of initiatives, and is particularly focused on three strategies:

  • Encouraging collaboration;
  • Supporting successful leaders; and
  • Fostering entrepreneurship in the nonprofit sector.

The foundation is applying these strategies to meet the needs of underserved children and families; create thriving and sustainable economic development for communities; bridge cultural and religious divides; expand civic engagement and volunteerism; and accelerate innovative approaches to health care.

The foundation's work stretches across the United States and around the world. To date, we have supported more than 150 organizations that reflect our commitment to collaboration, leadership, and entrepreneurship -- and, ultimately, to improving the health and well-being of children, families, and communities.

Social CitizensBETA
Civic Participation in a
Digital Age

Idealism. Digital fluency. Immersion in social causes. Each attribute is essential to bringing about positive, lasting change. So imagine what can be accomplished when all three combine.

That's the idea behind Social CitizensBETA, a new discussion paper from the Case Foundation about the potential impact of the Millennial Generation on the civic landscape.

Now we need your help in digging even deeper. So read on, and join the conversation. Together, we'll define what it means to be a Social Citizen.
