Values:

We innovate, together

We create innovative solutions with private, public, and philanthropic partners. We let go of egos, bring our best, and challenge the status quo.

We roll up our sleeves

We make things happen through thoughtful action. We convene the boots on the ground and experts to turn big ideas into reality through measurable, persistent action.

Open ears, clear eyes, full heart

We listen first, in everything we do. As we take a hard look at the root causes of the issues we face, we also foster optimism. We know that our communities are bigger than the problems they face.

We do the right thing

We do what’s right, even when no one is looking. Funders, donors, and communities can trust us to be good stewards of their resources.

We are people-centered

We recognize that people are at the heart of everything we do and we strive to design processes, programs, and cultures that put people first.
