What the money paid for, in its own words
FY2025 · Form 990, Part III · the three largest programs by expenseDevelopment:care works with partners to provide innovative solutions for sustainable development through supporting new ways of supplying or strengthening essential service delivery, building capacity, building resilience for reducing risk, and empowering the most vulnerable, particularly women and families
Humanitarian:approximately half of care's work relates to humanitarian. In times of conflict or disaster, care responds to save lives, with special attention to the needs of women and families and the most marginalized. Care's humanitarian activities include preparedness and early action, emergency response and recovery, and encourages future resilience. Humanitarian work reflects ongoing conflicts and natural disasters in countries that we operate. For fiscal years 2025 and 2024, our largest humanitarian efforts were in ethiopia, turkey, sudan, and yemen
