Core Values:

We believe we are stronger working together to promote just and fair access to opportunities for all people by:

Listening to nonprofits. We partner with them to address the problems our community seeks to solve.  We celebrate the passion they bring to their missions.

Supporting and protecting the philanthropic intent of our donors. We express our gratitude and report back on the impact their generosity has on the causes they care about.  We engage our donors in meaningful conversations about community needs.

Earning the trust of our community. We listen carefully and do what we say we will do. We partner with others to get things done.  We are good stewards of the resources entrusted to us. We make data-driven decisions.

Vision Statement:

A vibrant community with a commitment to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
