Collaboration
We work in partnership with people, organizations, and movements to co-create solutions for positive social change.
Innovation
We challenge assumptions, stay open and curious, and encourage new (and old) ways of thinking.
Inclusion
We value and respect each person’s unique offerings, experiences and skills, fostering a culture of belonging through internal practices and external actions.
Celebration
We recognize celebration as a form of resistance, in that finding time to laugh, share, and play can honor our shared humanity.
Integrity
We bring our whole selves into what we do, inviting union and solidarity into relationships, actions, and principles.
Locations
Our work is deeply rooted in the unique needs of the communities we serve, and what we do emerges directly from the initiative of those who live there. We focus on uplifting changemakers who are at the forefront of projects, initiatives, coalitions, and movements that positively shift our collective view and experience. Since our start, we have believed that a connection between local and global communities makes us more aware, prepared, and impactful. While we are located in three places, we are united by a common approach and shared values.

“I want to make changes, even if they are just a grain of sand. I believe that those kind of small changes are what create a better world.”
