BAYADA inducted into Lever for Change’s Bold Solutions Network as an outstanding, problem-solving organization worthy of philanthropic support.
Philadelphia, PA (August X, 2025) — BAYADA Home Health Care, the nation’s largest independent, nonprofit home health care provider with a legacy of 50 years of compassionate, excellent, and reliable care, was named a Top Applicant in the third round of 100&Change, an innovative philanthropic competition sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation that awards $100 million to one global organization working to solve a critical problem of our time.
For BAYADA and its industry, the critical challenge is to make high-quality home health care available for more medically vulnerable populations in need amidst growing, widespread, and intractable workforce shortages. For complex reasons, demand for home health care is far outpacing the supply of skilled workers, both in the US and worldwide.
About BAYADA’s Workforce Development Solution
BAYADA’s innovative solution addresses the caregiver gap by recruiting, training, and retaining home healthcare workers. Their long-term approach to building a talent pipeline removes barriers and provides supports such as clinical instruction, career guidance, mentorship, and financial assistance.
The nonprofit home care provider seeks catalytic funding to scale and accelerate this work, making entry-level career pathways and earning power accessible and sustainable for tens of thousands of workers, particularly for those who are economically disadvantaged.
BAYADA’s solution encompasses several career training and job placement programs for home health aides, certified nursing assistants, registered behavior technicians, habilitation technicians, licensed practical nurses, and registered nurses.
About 100&Change, Lever for Change and its Bold Solutions Network
“BAYADA is profoundly honored to be selected as a 100&Change Top Applicant in this rigorous process among over 850 proposals,” said Dr. Michael LaRosa, BAYADA Division Director of Workforce Development. “We’re encouraged by the MacArthur Foundation’s recognition that BAYADA is making real and measurable progress to solve the home healthcare workforce crisis, and excited by the potential for more donors and partners to join our movement and help make essential services possible for the millions who need care to live safely and comfortably at home.”
The 100&Change Top Applicant distinction entitles BAYADA to be inducted into Lever for Change’s Bold Solutions Network, a coveted opportunity to access capacity-building resources and to promote its Workforce Development solution to more funders. Lever for Change is a MacArthur-affiliated grantmaking organization, aimed at facilitating $10 billion in giving by 2030.
“Joining the Bold Solutions Network is a wonderful opportunity for the future of home health care,” LaRosa continued. “BAYADA’s two-year membership gives us exclusive access to learn from social impact partners, apply for grants, offer donors creative options for charitable giving, connect with additional funders, and convene pro-bono volunteers.
“This honor is the next best thing to the $100 million grant. We are grateful for this opportunity to make high-quality home health care more broadly available for communities worldwide.”
