Community Focus

Pockets of Hope

We support “pockets of hope” in Haiti where there are committed and effective civil society leaders.

Community Driven

We support organizations that take a community-driven development approach, building upon community assets and cultivating civic education, responsibility, and pride while building movements for social change.

Systemic Change

We support networks of organizations that pursue greater scale, efficacy and systemic change via shared resources, learning, and action.

Voice and Agency

We invest in organizations that give greater voice and agency to women, marginalized and low-income persons.

Vision and Strategy

We make grants to strengthen community-based healthcare, agroecology, entrepreneurship and and sustainable livelihoods, with a vision and strategy for long-term systemic change.

Local Communities

In Essex County north of Boston we fund organizations providing shelter, food and job training along with pathways out of poverty.
