Our Focus

We believe in approaching opportunities from a place of curiosity, problem-solving and discovery.

These principles guide us in all aspects of our work:

We have a long-term commitment to our mission, which is reflected in our efforts to develop strong relationships and effective partnerships with our grantees, foundation colleagues and other constituents who work for positive change in our priority regions.
Integrity and respect are essential in our personal and institutional interactions.
Risk-taking is necessary, even desirable in our work.
We encourage enthusiasm in everything we do.
