ABOUT OUR DONORS

As a not-for-profit organization, The Carter Center can realize its mission only through generous support from individuals, foundations, corporations, and governments. More than 98,601 donors contributed $380 million in cash, pledges, and in-kind gifts in 2022–2023 to the Center’s peace and health programs.
The Carter Center works with a broad and diverse range of supporters to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health. While the focus of our work remains international, we have increased our footprint in the United States. Support from long-time partners has been integral to building and expanding our domestic work.
After seminal support to the Ethiopia Public Health Training Initiative, The David and Lucile Packard Foundation support for the Center’s democracy work in the United States has been integral to efforts to bolster democratic norms, strengthen trust in the U.S. electoral process, and work toward more transparent, peaceful, and trustworthy elections. The Packard Foundation support allows the Center to contribute its vast knowledge, expertise, and learning from monitoring 115 elections in 40 countries toward more inclusive democracy in the United States.
In 2023, the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation invested in the Center’s frontline public policy and advocacy work, enabling progress in the accessibility of behavioral health services for individuals and families across the state of Georgia. Following the passage of the 2022 Mental Health Parity Act, the Blank Family Foundation’s grant supported the launch of the Mental Health Parity Awareness Campaign, which priorized women, people of color, and underserved communities in Albany and Savannah. Results show a marked increase in public awareness of the right to mental health care and insurers’ legal obligation to cover mental health care on par with physical health care. After the campaign, women who were interested in mental health care but felt they could not access it or had not looked for it were much less likely to see insurance as an obstacle. Pre-campaign, 40% of these women cited insurance as a barrier, while post-campaign, just 10% said insurance was a barrier, a 75% drop.
Individuals play a significant role in the work of The Carter Center: “We have been supporters of President Jimmy Carter, Rosalynn Carter, and their Carter Center for over a decade. Their incredible spirit for creating a better world is inspiring,” said Joe and Sarah Kiani. “We want to support the work the Carter Center is doing to improve access to health care around the world, including the village-based health care delivery systems they have put into place in thousands of communities in Africa. They have been an advocate for patient safety and increased awareness of mental health challenges in our health care system. They took action out of kindness and led with love.”

A Note to Donors

The Carter Center appreciates the support of its many donors. Although we are able to list only those gifts that totaled $1,000 or more from Sept. 1, 2022, through Aug. 31, 2023, we are grateful for each gift that helps to support the vital work of The Carter Center.
