Reducing Barriers
We choose partners who reduce barriers to education, jobs and business ownership.
Outcomes
We value outcomes. We require our grant partners to measure their impact and assess their program outcomes on an annual basis.
Innovation
We value innovation and trying new things. We understand that the vision and plans for new programs do not always work out as planned. With this in mind, we encourage our grant partners to complete self assessments and pivot where necessary.
