Our Mission: 
To advance compassionate services and just systems so that marginalized children, youth & families can build stability and thrive in strengthened communities.

 

Our Ultimate Social Goals:

• All children, youth & families can meet their basic needs (stable housing, healthy food, safety & security, love & belonging)

• All children, youth, and families have access to and are served by just and equitable systems

​

What We Believe:

• We prioritize those pushed to the margins, furthest from justice.

• We believe that lasting change occurs through a combination of compassionate services and just, equitable systems.

• We view families as a foundation of stability and well-being for children and youth.

• We are grounded in the values of the faith community that created the foundation, which are centered on bringing about compassion, healing, justice and wholeness for the human family.

• We are forward leaning, flexible and adapting as the world and our community are changing.

• We seek to learn from and be guided by the nonprofits we support and the marginalized communities they serve. We view our grantees as experienced and trusted partners who are essential to achieving our mission, and we highly value the wisdom of people with lived experience.

• We accept our responsibility for helping to dismantle systems grounded in racism.
