What they fund?
They support organizations building the long-term capacity to ignite change as well as providing rapid response and emerging opportunity funding. They value projects that explore the connections between issue areas. Change requires both long-term movement building and the ability to respond quickly to opportunistic moments when transformation and/or real short-term gains are possible.
