We have big goals, and we know we can't achieve them alone. We bring together people and organizations—nurturing relationships, strengthening networks, and pooling our resources to drive change at scale.
The issues we work on are complex, and no one can solve them on their own. That’s why we seek out people and organizations who share our goals and find smart ways to work together.
We partner with other funders to combine our resources and get more money in the hands of the people and organizations that need it. This helps our dollars go further—and it unlocks opportunities for new donors looking for effective ways to give.
We look for partners who are working toward the same goals we are—but tackling them in different ways. Often, the best way to advance the work we care about is to activate and invest in people and institutions taking a complementary approach.
Our partners bring a range of unique perspectives to the table—and we’re better for it.
