We seek grantees who champion the liberties and rights of our communities’ diverse citizens, treasure the arts and support the lives of artists, pursue social and economic justice, and proactively provide safety net resources for those in need. They provide people the opportunity to live up to their fullest potential and who, in turn, offer their unique gifts to contribute to society’s constant betterment.
We, in turn, offer our partners the opportunity to take risks to more fully achieve their mission. “Mama exhorted her children at every opportunity to ‘jump at the sun. ’ We might not land on the sun, but at least we would get off the ground.

We need men and women who can dream of things that never were. ” “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
