OUR PROJECTS
We invest our time, skills and networks to seed, support, or grow an initiative. Our projects are the building blocks with which we address specific issues, intentionally seeking mutually reinforcing connections between them. We use this intentionality to work towards systemic change within our sustainable, equitable themes.
