Our impact

Impact, patiently made.

Our impact is measured in the strength of the people and organizations we support, in classrooms, youth programs and community initiatives.

Where support goes

Three areas, one steady hand.

01

Education

We support initiatives that widen access to learning: classroom resources, educational enrichment, and the people and programs who help students succeed.

Community

We strengthen social and community initiatives, and the nonprofit organizations that deliver them, so neighbors can count on them for years, not months.

Community support

How we give

Grants and supported projects

The foundation provides grants to charitable organizations and initiatives whose work aligns with our three areas of focus. Each grant follows a conversation: we want to understand the need, the plan and the people carrying it out.

We favor support that strengthens an organization's core work and its ability to keep serving its community.

Every grant is a relationship. Every relationship is a responsibility.
