Each unique expression of generosity will have value far beyond what we can imagine or live to see.

We communicate and coordinate with other funders, build funder networks, and participate in collaborative grantmaking.

We support intermediary organizations, democratizing decision making and catalyzing wider community participation to boldly face our shared challenges.

We strive for a multiplicity of outcomes -- direct benefit, organizational capacity building, donor/funder engagement, and systems change.

We simplify our grantmaking process to reduce strain on our grantees. We grant general operating support, making multi-year commitments.

 We regularly review the effectiveness of our grants,  reexamining our strategies in coordination with other funders.

We encourage others to join in our philanthropy and seek opportunities to learn alongside our peers.
