We give to people doing quiet, careful work — in global health, in the neighborhood we live in, and on the long shots that almost no one else will fund.
We'd rather fund someone earnest with a rough plan than someone polished with a perfect one.
Most of what matters compounds quietly. We give multi-year support where we can.
Our applications are short. So are our reports. We won't ask you for a logframe.
We split our giving roughly across four areas — not because we're experts, but because each asks something different of us.
We share names so others can find these organizations. Grant amounts are kept private out of respect for our grantees.
Our application is four short questions. We read every one and reply within two weeks, even if we can't fund you.
