The Catholic Cares Coalition, a growing group of 60 U.S.-based Catholic organizations, was recognized for its work towards vaccine equity. Catholic Cares Coalition considers vaccine acceptance an act of charity and solidarity and is committed to maximizing members’ influence by supporting various grassroots efforts. The distinctly Catholic perspectives and resources of each coalition member, and long history of success in their varying missions, offers a unique opportunity to address these goals.
Don McCrabb, Executive Director of the United States Catholic Mission Association, accepted the award on behalf of the coalition. The award was presented by Abby Graf, VP Programs and Community Engagement, The Nonprofit Alliance Catholic Development Council.
