Theory of Change
Through relational, flexible, philanthropic grants, we can accelerate the speed of impact with grantees, using data-informed decision-making to increase population-level outcomes.
Flexible Philanthropy
Funding options include leverage/challenge/matching grants, multi-year program funding, capital campaign contributions, operating grants, emergency funds, Collective Impact Backbone Support, and permanently restricted endowments. The foundations’ corpus is also available for investments such as loans, gap funding, construction financing, and loans for “undesirable nonprofit projects.”
Data-Informed Decision-Making
Meaningful, reliable, organized, unbiased, person-level data will expose insights into actionable decisions that drive results.
Shifting Assets with Trusted Partners
Building progressive philanthropic investments of capacity with singular grantees over time, strategically increasing their days of working capital, net assets, staff (paid and unpaid), and the competencies to steward them sustainably.
