Redefining How Philanthropy Operates
We recognize that traditional institutional philanthropy can unintentionally exacerbate existing inequities. By embracing a more equitable approach to funding and partnership, we aim to amplify the impact of solutions led by those closest to the issues. Through our distinctive investment practices, our national initiatives, and the insights we offer to the field, we are redefining how philanthropy operates and shifting it toward lasting change.
