Priorities
Their current grantmaking priorities are Equity and Education. They believe in the ability of organizations from all sectors to advance equity in our community. They also believe that efforts at the intersection of these priorities (advancing equity while improving education-related outcomes) can lead to sustained individual and community prosperity.
- Equity
- Making sure everyone can access the resources and opportunities they need to thrive so life trajectories improve, disparities in outcomes are reduced and unjust systems are changed, especially for community members who have been historically excluded, including Black, Indigenous and People of Color, people with disabilities, women and LGBTQ+ people.
- Education
- Increasing educational attainment from cradle to career, reducing disparities in academic outcomes and eliminating bias in discipline, curricula and school culture to achieve individual and community prosperity.
