Carr Cares

We believe that strong communities are built by investing in the next generation. Our philanthropic work focuses on supporting young people by expanding educational access and helping them build bright, confident futures.

Community Impact

Helping Young People Realize Their Potential

Through Carr Cares, we extend our commitment beyond our properties and into the neighborhoods we serve. We partner with mission-driven schools and nonprofits that offer exceptional academic, social-emotional, and leadership programs. Across every initiative, our goal is the same: to empower students with the resources, confidence, and opportunities to thrive. 

Our associates volunteer throughout the year, mentoring students, supporting school events, and welcoming student groups throughout our portfolio for hands-on learning. These moments of connection reflect the heart of Carr Cares: showing up, building relationships, and helping students envision what is possible.

In Washington, DC, we proudly support two transformative, tuition-free schools: Washington Jesuit Academy (WJA) and the Washington School for Girls (WSG). These organizations provide rigorous academics and individualized support that create lasting pathways toward purpose, leadership, and success.

Annual Benefit Concert

A Concert for a Cause

Each year, the Carr Cares Benefit Concert stands as the centerpiece of our philanthropic work. Since 2018, the event has grown into a defining Carr Properties tradition, uniting partners, associates, and supporters in shared commitment to expanding educational opportunity.

With 100% of proceeds benefiting the WJA and the WSG, the concert fuels critical academic, social-emotional, and alumni programs that help students thrive. To date, the event has raised more than $2.3 million, directly advancing the missions of these two remarkable schools and the futures of those they serve.
