Why We Give

We believe that communities thrive when they are:

• sufficiently resourced

• safe to connect and build trust

• invited to solve problems and shape their own future

In these conditions, we know that communities can:

• mend what’s been broken

• grow what’s already working

• imagine what does not yet exist

What We Fund

We support organizations that:

• deepen collective capacity

• restore social connection

• bridge differences

• dismantle systemic barriers

We invite partners to:

• experiment

• adapt

• grow collective strength

• create imaginative and sustainable paths forward

How We Work

We strive to:

• resist the illusion of separateness

• pay attention to what’s emerging around us

• practice accountability

• engage in reciprocity

• participate in power-with models of partnership

We understand that change in complex systems requires:

• patience

• curiosity

• creativity

• vulnerability

• willingness to fail and learn from failure
