Family Values at Work (stylized Family Values @ Work or FV@W) is a left-of-center, labor union-funded advocacy organization that provides programming support for coalitions in various states pushing to expand government-mandated paid leave programs. 8 Despite claiming to fund local, grassroots organizations, most of FV@W’s grant funds in 2018 went to nationally backed, left-of-center organizations, including the 9to5, National Association of Working Women, the People’s Action Institute, and the Tides Foundation. 8
History
Family Values @ Work was founded in 2003 to provide a national network for state and local action groups working to implement left-of-center policy to mandate paid family leave programs across the United States. 8
Despite claiming to fund local, grassroots organizations, most of FV@W’s grant funding in 2018 went to national left-leaning organizations. In 2018, FV@W provided more funding to 9to5 National Association of Working Women than any other organization, amounting to $457,500 in grants in 2018 alone. 20 FV@W also provided $150,000 to the national Economic Opportunity Institute, $150,000 to the Coalition for Social Justice, and $75,000 to the People’s Action Institute. 20 FV@W further provided funding to left-of-center organizations not directly related to the group’s overall mission, including $20,000 to the Tides Foundation and $50,000 to the National Hispanic Coalition. 20
Aside from giving to established organizations, FV@W has also made contributions to organizations to support particular labor initiatives. 22 23
Despite being legally nonpartisan given its 501(c)(3) status, FV@W is supported by a range of left-of-center organizations, most notably the AFL-CIO labor union federation. 0){
