Social change cannot happen merely from the top down, and in this way philanthropy and charity is often the difference between a hand out and a hand up. We strategically fund programs that not only serve those stuck in the trenches, but build bridges to bring them to an equal footing. Bridges that allow people to move from vulnerability to self-sufficiency, from research to results and from ideas to accomplishments.

As philanthropists we seek to use our business sense and our passion to make lasting change. We seek to support programs that share our mission to tackle hard issues head on. Through long-term relationships with our grantee partners we identify gaps and obstacles which impede solutions. Then once a plan is developed, we close those gaps by supporting leaders in the non-profit community who are overcoming barriers and truly being the catalysts for change in their communities.

The organizations we fund are our inspiration. And the people whose lives we touch are our motivations.
