Our values clarify who we are and what drives us.
We choose our investments and partners intentionally, committing to investments that align with our DNA. They put into words our deep commitment to meaningful and sustainable systems change and racial equity throughout the Greater Washington Region.
Dream Big.
Do Big.
Together with our partners, we envision, and we achieve, better life outcomes for young people. As innovators, we tackle challenges with big, interconnected solutions, creating a Greater Washington where every child flourishes.
Every child deserves to dream big because every child can succeed in doing big things.
Collaborate
Deeply
-
We believe in working together
-
collaborating, measuring, and building
-
to design systems for equity.
By walking step by step with our partner organizations – learning from them as they learn from us – we increase their capacity and effectiveness. We invest and partner deeply across community, non-profit, government and business — so more leaders can do more good.
Innovate Tirelessly
We’ve taken the venture capital model of investing, disrupted it, and put it to work for people. Driven by data, we gather, measure and act. That means building strategic investment portfolios and networks of great organizations with tremendous potential.
We keep going – even and especially when it’s hard – looking for new and better ways to do more.
