Bringing forth a positive future requires innovative ways of understanding and naming the problems people face, as well as new methods for collaborating to solve them. To accomplish the foundation’s mission they provide financial resources to galvanize the movement for progressive and democratic social change, and their 2013 grantmaking totaled $3.3 million.
