About Our Mission and Team
We imagine a world where the majority of organizations stand for people and the planet first and collaboration for social impact is everywhere.
Collaboration Over Competition
When it comes to social and environmental impact, the enemy is stagnation. The enemy is the bad outcome, not other similar organizations. We constantly strive to combine efforts so we all win.
Every Perspective is Respected
We will not look down on those who don’t see our point of view. We will not shut down conversation because it opposes ours, and we welcome and lift those up who are newer in their impact journey.
Progress Comes in Steps and Leaps
While we desire drastic change and have big visions, we won’t sacrifice small steps forward while pursuing big leaps. And when possible, we won’t settle for small steps when big leaps are easily attainable.
