We are inspired by the hope, solidarity, and commitment of partnership with the community. In addition to using our voices and working every day to create systems that work for all – we are committed to action, through increasing the grants that support work by and for the community, increasing investments in and with communities of color, and making every daily choice with equity in mind.
