Our Values
-
Trust
Trust is at the center of how we engage with our clients and community partners. We strive to be trusted partners and uphold the strongest code of ethics and confidentiality in all matters. We believe that trust-based philanthropy evolves through authentic relationship-building and embodies the highest level of giving.
-
Community
Community members and those closest to the most pressing challenges in their community are best suited & know best how to address complex challenges in their own communities. We honor this knowledge and are committed to work alongside local community leaders, members, and social movements to support their vision towards long term, systems change.
-
Joy
With increasingly complex challenges and polarizing views, it can be difficult to find calm and joy amidst the chaos. Finding how you best fit and thrive in this ecosystem takes time. Each individual will have a unique experience and our goal is to ensure you find a path that brings joyful purpose to your life. We center joy as a priority for ourselves and prioritize how we want to show up & engage with others.

We practice and encourage reflection, deep listening, and strive to maintain a learning and growth mindset, while engaging in rigorous research, assessment, and evaluation at every stage of our process.
