Our Core Values

We let brilliance shine

Change is made possible when people can live into their strengths and their potential. Hope, playfulness, and creativity are necessary to dream and to disrupt inequity.

We root change in learning

Applying both love and rigor in our work allows us to achieve goals that are grounded in the expertise of those who have experienced poverty and inequity.

We build deep relationships

A caring community is built by listening deeply, being curious, honoring the wholeness of others, and fostering a sense of belonging.

We strive for social justice

In an equitable world, everyone has the freedom to pursue and realize their dreams.

We create thriving environments

There is an abundance of money and resources for everyone to reach their full potential.
