Past Priorities
Arts & Community Culture
- Increasing Access to Arts in Schools (2024): We sought to invest in the integration of arts in school settings and expanding access to arts for students in grades K-12.
Housing & Hunger
- Mental Health & Housing (2024): We sought to invest in organizations that provide culturally relevant mental health and addiction recovery services for people who lack stable housing, including organizations with counseling staff and/or those working with a network of external providers.
Law, Justice, & Incarceration
- Re-entry Support (2024): Focusing on learning more about the unique challenges individuals leaving incarceration face, and how re-entry support can assist them holistically in this transition, in turn improving their experience and reducing recidivism.
Climate & Agricultural Justice
- Food Sovereignty & Security (2023): Investing in communities’ access to culturally appropriate food via sustainable food systems, and food security created through ecologically sound production lines. We are interested in learning more about the relationship between people, power and food production, and the impact that relationship to the land has on climate and agricultural justice.
Education
- Early Childhood Education (2023): Investing in both formal and informal education and opportunities for early learners from birth to age 8, which may include the development of literacy skills. We are interested in learning more about how a focus on our youngest community members during a period of fundamental development impacts their growth.
Healthcare
- Reproductive Justice & Maternal Healthcare (2023): Investing in the ability to maintain personal bodily autonomy, control reproductive choices, and access healthcare during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. We are interested in learning more about the many ways reproductive matters impact our community, with a holistic approach to maternal health.
