Chip & Rebecca Cargas Fund

Improving income equity and wealth equity

This fund works with and provides grants to community benefit organizations that work to improve income equity and wealth equity. 

Focus areas include: 

• helping businesses to engage their employees in creating more success and sharing that success broadly and generously through profit sharing and employee ownership
• helping individuals with education and support to develop the attitudes, skills, and resources necessary for an in-demand and rewarding career as an employee and/or business owner.  

The thinking that inspired this focus:

It’s a great way to make our community more vibrant and safe for everyone. Rewarding careers include the pride of doing valuable work and sharing in the success that is being created. Employee ownership can help build wealth for all employees, not just a select few.
