Our Methodology

Our mission is ambitious.
We need integrated partnerships in our community to make it happen.

Every person is infinitely important and valuable to their community.
Integrated partnerships are necessary to bring about systems level change.
Humility and creativity are required to seize the opportunities before us.
We are better together: diversity is necessary, equity is essential.
Our resources and relationships are intended to be ambitiously stewarded toward the betterment of our world.

We use creative solutions to move the needle in our areas of focus.
We’re not about rhetorical debate – we have deep, curious, respectful conversations with others on topics that matter. But, we don’t just want to listen and talk, we want to make things happen.
Is there a topic in our wheelhouse that you’d like to explore? Let’s talk.

We seek to connect the dots between people, projects, and places. Moving toward integrated and strategic efforts, we address problems and seize opportunities.
We’re not about siloed efforts focused only on individual situations – we want to find out how our goals are related and how, when put together in just the right way, each effort can complement and strengthen the other. These collaborative efforts can affect systems level change. Are you involved in a network, project, organization, or initiative that you think could be linked to others for greater collective impact?
Do need support for your project? Let’s talk.

We support the work of our community partners by joining together for training, advocacy and education efforts. We help with fundraising, grant work, and gift making.
We don’t duplicate effort or compete for space, we want to help those already doing good work in our area.
