Our Focus

Our Approach + Focus

From our grants, to our investments, to our voice we are using all of our resources to advance our mission. We are committed to changemaking, not just grantmaking.

  • Investing in Bold Leaders
    Our partners are courageous leaders willing to work in innovative ways, forge powerful alliances, and push breakthrough ideas that make the “impossible” possible.
  • Using All of Our Assets
    We use a ‘totality of assets’ approach, meaning we leverage the full power of the foundation’s financial and non-financial assets for impact.
  • Leveraging Our Voice
    We leverage our voice and influence to amplify the voices and goals of our partners.

We believe the dual crises named in our mission (inequality and climate change) cannot be addressed without first addressing their root causes and oppressive manifestations. That’s why we are focused on the long-term and interconnected goal of advancing racial, economic, and environmental justice (REEJ).

Racial Justice

Our vision for racial justice is the removal of structural barriers and hierarchies based on race. It seeks to reimagine political, economic, and social systems in ways that allow all people to thrive, regardless of their racial identity.

Economic Justice

Economic justice means that everyone has opportunities to participate and thrive in the economy, including those who are marginalized by our current economic systems. The principles of economic justice create a stronger economy because prosperity and equity go hand in hand.

Environmental Justice

Environmental justice is the right of all people and communities to a clean, healthy, and safe environment. It promotes equal environmental protection under the law and in fact. It empowers all communities to make informed decisions and fully participate civically and economically in the creation of environmental solutions.

Israel – Palestine

Our grantmaking in the Israel-Palestine region, like our work in the United States, seeks to advance racial, economic, and environmental justice.
