Our Vision

Unwavering Future

As a foundation, we are committed to deepening our understanding of our community’s needs, listening closely to those most closely connected to the issues at hand. By focusing on our goal of strengthening the community, we aim to create opportunities for organizations to flourish, grow and address urgent challenges, and generate shared values and positive outcomes for everyone.

We have identified three guiding priorities that shape our funding approach and help us live our values while supporting the work of our community.

Positioning Community

Recognizing that we do not have all the answers, we embrace a learning mindset and seek community-driven solutions. Listening with intention and respect, we want to learn the unique perspectives of the communities we serve and how we can best strengthen those communities.

Building Partnerships

Collaborating with others to increase the likelihood of lasting, positive change. Partnering with those who share our values and dedication to addressing community needs together.

An Evolutionary Approach

Exploring new strategies and interventions that expand access and opportunity for more organizations to benefit from the community’s assets and resources and adapting our grant making to reflect the understanding that many challenges require sustained commitment, patience, and balanced access to resources.
