Our approach to grant-giving is a direct, aligned expression of deeply held values. So every project that enters our process can also be said to enter the hearts of our passionate staff and volunteers. This explains the success of the projects we’ve helped start. Read more about our values below.
Empowerment
We wish to help give back power to the people. We understand power as an awareness of the creativity we all possess to co-create the world we live in. We all deserve a chance to contribute to a more functional global society. For this reason, we provide the encouragement and a portion of the capital needed to help people with projects get their ideas off the ground.
Abundance
We believe the world is naturally abundant. All we possess is a gift and an invitation to participate in the free, universal circulation of life. We give because we know that, in giving, we receive, and vice versa. In this way, our community and the projects we support grow more and more abundant . . . without boundaries.
Collaboration
We hold a worldview of interdependence. Everything that exists is part of an intricate interconnected web. Therefore, we cannot ignore eco-systems out of balance or the suffering of any being, including animals. The projects we support―no matter how small―touch and brighten our future, and we acknowledge collaboration as key to their realization.
