what is important to us

WE LOVE BIG IDEAS AND WE SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF

Compelling ideas

We support ambitious ideas with strong potential of achieving outsized results and scale those with demonstrated effectiveness that can be sustained.

 

Highly effective leaders

We believe in the transformative power of high-quality leadership – leaders and teams with a growth mindset who are committed to excellence and impact.

 

Research-based innovation and decision making

We use research and evidence to develop deep understanding of an issue area and anchor the work on data and findings.

 

Implementation for continuous improvement and quality results

While there has been no shortage of good ideas, high-quality implementation and ongoing accountability for results are key to success hence we support strategy and implementation.

 

Measurement and evaluation

Impact is the goal. We invest in initiatives where outputs and outcomes are measured and data is used to achieve continual improvement and results.

 

Long term partnership and support

We are active partners, staffed to provide grantees with strategic support. We work side-by- side to develop detailed strategy and implementation plans when needed and provide ongoing advice and problem solving support.

 

Risk taking

We take calculated risks, fail forward and embrace continuous improvement.
