We believe a strong philanthropic and nonprofit sector that centers diversity, equity, and inclusion can help society meet its biggest challenges. By this we mean a sector that invites in, respects, and values people across the full spectrum of backgrounds and lived experiences, and encourages multiple ways of thinking. With philanthropic support, the organizations and individuals who are innovating and advocating for a more representative and responsive sector have the power to change the world.
We have three intentionally broad and flexible approaches to our field support for Philanthropy. We support a strong philanthropic sector; promote research and communication among funders and nonprofits; and support a strong nonprofit sector. As a philanthropy ourselves, we aim to lead with our values.
