Mission & Values
Our Commitment to Effective Philanthropy
Charitable giving should work. We are committed to partnering with best-in-class charities working on causes that deliver real benefits to the communities in which they operate. We approach grantmaking dispassionately, seeking to fund projects that will produce the greatest social returns per dollar.
Moving the Needle
We have a bias towards charities where our grant will open up new opportunities for the grantee, allowing them to undertake high-impact and innovative projects which would have otherwise not been feasible due to funding constraints or risk.
Putting resources where they are needed most
We take a resource allocation approach to our grantmaking, focusing first on maximizing impact and ensuring that every grant we make demonstrably improves lives.
Accountability & Transparency
We measure outcomes with our charitable partners on an ongoing basis, keeping everyone accountable for delivering on charitable objectives. All of our partners maintain fully transparent operations ensuring resources are used as intended.
A Diversity of Causes
The problems communities face today are multifaceted and complex. Often many elements must come together to see success. We work across a variety of causes to ensure our communities as a whole have the best chance of seeing positive impact.
