Values

Diversity: We strive to welcome, reflect, and amplify diverse life experiences and ideas in our organizational composition, programs, and audiences.

Empathy: We call on ourselves and others to broaden perspectives by understanding the positions of different community members.

Humility: We accept that our way may not be the only way or the best way and are open to new ideas.

Knowledge: We draw on data, expertise, and the personal experiences of ourselves, our programmatic partners, and grantees to guide our work.

Originality: We look at things from fresh and creative perspectives and are willing to try new things and learn from them.
