In pursuit of our goals, Casey Family Programs draws inspiration from our founder, Jim Casey, a visionary entrepreneur who recognized that our nation’s most valuable resource is our children.

The founder of United Parcel Service, Jim Casey understood that children need the love and support of a stable family in order to thrive, and he carefully considered ways to provide care for those who need it most. To that end, he established Casey Family Programs in 1966 as a national operating foundation, based in Seattle.

Casey Family Programs endures proudly as one of Jim Casey’s many lasting legacies. We take the responsibility he bestowed upon us very seriously. We work each day in his spirit of compassion and concern, singularly focused on satisfying the needs of those we serve: America’s children.
