Grants

Purposeful Partnerships, Powerful Outcomes

Our grantmaking strategy is clear-cut and purpose-driven. We champion long-term partnerships that spark lasting change in seven core program areas: Foster Youth, Refugees, Catholic Sisters, Safe Water, Global Early Childhood Development, Homelessness, and Opportunity Youth. To uphold this strategic approach, we do not accept unsolicited proposals. Instead, we proactively seek out initiatives that promise not only to meet but exceed our objectives for global betterment.

By carefully selecting projects and grantees that align with our mission, vision and values, we amplify our collective potential to alleviate human suffering and ensure that our actions and investments translate into transformative results.
