Our Values
-
Our guiding light is racial justice and liberation for all. Our work is in service of pro-Black, pro-Indigenous, pro-POC, pro-LGBTQ+, pro-disabled, pro-movements, pro-people powered futures.
-
We believe that everyone has the capacity to engage in more joyful and liberatory ways of giving.
-
We believe we can do hard things in service of the collective. Conflict can be generative. Clarity is kindness.
-
We believe in a North Star for philanthropy that includes the redistribution of wealth and power.

We believe that a different culture of philanthropy is possible. We've seen the seeds of this future. We also know that change is hard. Shifting legacy norms can feel overwhelming. You may not know where to start or have the bandwidth to execute. Our sweet spot is working to translate your WHY into HOW.
Our approach is to:
-
Hold curiosity and empathy no matter where you are on your philanthropic journey.
-
Deeply understand your goals, what moves you and what success looks like to you.
-
Be transparent with what we can do, what we can’t do, and the middles we might meet in.
-
Balance rigor with heart.
Some questions we can help you answer:
-
How do we align our values with our program operations?
-
How do we choose grant partnerships in a trusting community-centered way?
-
How do I effectively advocate for the communities we serve within our institution?
