Community & Not-for-Profit Support
We invite our community to gather, support, and engage through private and public programming, working sessions, service projects, support with strategic resources, and action groups to advance good within and across sectors and communities.
We are also committed to supporting those at the front lines of service through the provision of hopeful spaces to advance their work and access to new models of social change.
Fostering Civil Communities
We embrace the intertwined texture of community. In a world that can feel increasingly siloed, we imagine community in a new way.
By engaging diverse audiences and putting them in proximity to some of the most pressing humanitarian issues of our time, we seek to foster communities that are civil, communities that flourish, and communities that are inclusive of all – with the goal of generating thought and action toward sustained social impact.
Impact and Innovation
Our Impact and Innovation series, launched in 2019, engages with leaders across sectors to explore collaborative models that pursue innovative strategies while achieving profound social change. Through this series, philanthropic participants can identify new ways of investing, private sector participants can identify new models of collaboration, and not-for-profits can determine ways to effectively pivot and modify sustainability strategies.
Where Innovation and Impact Connect
In November 2019, we hosted a conversation featuring organizations at the local, state, national, and international level that stand out as best-in-class exemplars of how to drive social good considering both impact and innovation.
