How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Comprehensive, Multi-Sector Approach to Poverty Alleviation
    methodology: comprehensive-poverty-alleviation
    By addressing interconnected drivers of poverty—such as food insecurity, housing, education, employment, and legal needs—through coordinated grantmaking, we produce deeper and more sustainable economic mobility because poverty is systemic and requires integrated solutions.
  • Economic Mobility Through Strategic Grantmaking
    methodology: investment-principled philanthropy
    By applying investment principles to philanthropy, we increase the effectiveness and long-term impact of grants, thereby stabilizing households and promoting economic mobility because disciplined, high-impact giving functions like capital investment in social outcomes.
  • Intergenerational Cycle of Opportunity
    methodology: perpetuating opportunity through intergenerational giving
    By supporting individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve success, we enable them to give back in turn, perpetuating opportunity across generations because lived experience of support inspires future generosity and systemic change.
