For the Families Who Never Back Down.
Every day, families like yours show what true strength looks like. You face uncertainty with courage, lead through love, and keep showing up—no matter what the day holds. You’re not just managing care; you’re leading a life few can fully understand.
At the Ethan Lindberg Foundation, we see you—and we believe in you. We invest in parents like you as C-Level Parents™—leaders doing some of the most complex and courageous work in the world. We equip you with coaching, education, and resources that strengthen you. We know this is a hard journey, and we want you and your family not just to survive, but thrive.
Because when parents grow stronger, families do too. And when families thrive, entire communities are changed.
Together, we’re building a world that recognizes caregiving as leadership and honors the families who never back down.
You can join our waitlist to receive updates about growth opportunities for parents as they become available.
We also stand with parents whose caregiving has changed shape through loss. Your leadership, love, and wisdom continue to matter deeply. You are welcome here—your strength and story remain an essential part of what it means to be Heart Strong.
You are a C-Level Parent.
At the Ethan M. Lindberg Foundation, we don’t see caregiving parents as people who need fixing—we see you as high-capacity leaders doing important work.
You carry vision, grit, and the ability to make life-changing decisions under pressure.
That’s why we use the term C-Level Parents™—because caregiving isn’t the opposite of leadership; it is leadership.
We’re here to walk with you, not to hand you a one-size-fits-all plan, but to equip you with the tools, coaching, resources and community to lead your own path forward.
How We Support You.
EDUCATION
We partner with world-class personal development leaders to create access for parents through discounted and pro-bono seats in established programs.
Topics include:
Mindset & Emotional Regulation
Relationships & Communication
Career, Calling & Leadership
Wellness & Nervous System Support
COACHING
Caregiving parents deserve the same level of support that executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders receive. That’s why we’re building a vetted coaching network exclusively for parents like you.
Partner coaches help you:
Navigate personal and parental challenges
Reconnect with your goals and identity beyond caregiving
Grow into the leader your life is asking you to be
FAMILY RESILIENCE FUND
Families carrying lifelong medical challenges face unique pressures — financial, emotional, and personal. Our Family Resilience Fund exists to meet those needs by fueling opportunities that strengthen parents and families.
This may include access to coaching, education, or resources that build resilience — and, at times, direct support for practical needs in partnership with trusted organizations.
Our goal is simple: to invest in families so they have what they need to grow strong in the long haul.
We won’t pretend to have all the answers. What we can do is invest in you—so you have the strength, tools, and vision to lead your family forward.
A Note for Parents.
If you're here, it’s likely because you're navigating one of life’s most demanding callings: raising a child with complex medical needs.
You’re not just managing symptoms or schedules—you’re carrying emotional, practical, financial and systemic burdens that most people can’t see.
A Note for Donors and Partners.
At the Ethan Lindberg Foundation, we don’t just meet needs — we fuel transformation.
Every parent we serve is a leader holding a family together through courage and grit. Your investment tells them: you are seen, you are valued, and your work matters.
Studies confirm what we've known for years:
Caregiving parents need more than survival tools. You need space to grow, be seen, and thrive.
We’ve built our work on two decades of lived experience and research-backed insights—and we’re designing everything we offer with you in mind.
When you give, you’re not donating to a cause — you’re investing in people who carry entire ecosystems of care. You’re unlocking access to growth, strength, and opportunity for parents who rarely receive it but profoundly deserve it.
Together, we’re building a culture that recognizes caregiving parents as the leaders they already are — and equips them to thrive..
