We desire to transition this work as thoughtfully and respectfully as possible. To that end, our board of directors approved a three-year timeline to transition out of the Substance Use Prevention field, lasting through 2021.
Objectives of the Transition
Our time as a partner in the Substance Use Prevention field has brought many successes and substantial learnings. To transition appropriately, we are working with two key objectives in mind:
- Solidify learnings and contributions to the field: Our remaining time spent making grants in the area of Substance Use Prevention are focused on summarizing and disseminating important learnings and knowledge through a range of key resources.
- Identify other sources of philanthropic leadership and support: For us, leaving the Substance Use Prevention area with minimal disruption means taking an active role in encouraging the next generation of funding partners to support the field.
