We believe that venture philanthropy has the capacity to achieve widespread systemic change. To that end, we are working to connect social innovators with policy makers, opinion formers, think tanks, corporations and academics, to bring greater attention and resources to scalable innovative social solutions that could be mainstreamed for much greater impact.
We hope that our public affairs work will inform policy, improve the capital market for social innovation, and encourage a national dialogue about how we can collectively transform the lives of many more economically disadvantaged people.
Guided by our set of beliefs, we participate actively in consultations and research, and speak out on issues of the day, both directly to policy makers and in the media.

The relationship has helped us raise our game. As a result, our strategy is bolder and our stakeholders are extremely excited about where this process is taking us.
