OUR PROJECTS

 
 

 
 

In addition to our gifts we contribute our time, skills and networks to projects to seed, support, or grow an initiative. Our projects are the building blocks with which we address specific issues, intentionally seeking mutually reinforcing connections between them. We use this intentionality to work towards systemic change within our sustainable and equitable themes.
