BECOME A SPONSOR
Put your name behind one piece of the work
CARE (Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity) is the Untied States’ first national Black, Indigenous, and People of Color animal welfare organization. Every part of our work is already funded piece by piece, by partners who back the specific program that matters to them.
Sponsoring CARE means putting your name behind one of those pieces — a conference, a center, a study, a scholarship — and seeing exactly where it goes.

No tiers or price list here — sponsorships are scoped to a conversation, since the right size depends on which opportunity you want to fund. Reach out to us at equity@careawo.org to start a conversation!
THE GATHERING
CARE’s national conference on human and animal well-being, held annually. Sponsoring puts your name on the room, the materials, the program and in front of CARE large social media audience.
CARE CENTERS
