Our Core Beliefs:

  • We believe racial and social equity is foundational.  
  • Poverty and scarcity remain existential threats to child well-being.  
  • Human potential is evenly distributed but opportunity is not.  
  • Social capital, economic mobility and other outcomes vital for children and youth to thrive should not be predicted by zip code.  
  • Historic, institutionalized racism is a significant contributor to differences in opportunity that disproportionately limit people of color.  
  • Discrimination in all forms influences perceptions of families’ strengths and abilities which can lead to actions and interventions ultimately harmful to child and youth wellbeing.  
  • The most important asset for child and youth wellbeing is the family. 
  • Thriving families and communities are part of a larger system of social supports which must be just, equitable and accessible. 
  • Our first duty is to the children and families we serve, and we will champion the needs of families with our funding partners.
