CarePortal
Innovating digital frontiers
CarePortal is connecting technology that drives action for local children and families in crisis.
Since launching in 2015, CarePortal has done for child welfare what other tech platforms have successfully done to disrupt entire industries. Just as ride-sharing and home-sharing services have unlocked value and connection in places where it didn’t exist before, CarePortal enables care-sharing: a method of collaboration that empowers people to share the responsibility of caring for people in need. Right now, in real-time.
CarePortal is connecting local social agencies, churches, businesses, and individuals to help share resources for those in need. Focus Church is on the leading edge of bringing CarePortal to Dane County, Wisconsin.
