Approach
Operating Principles
The challenges we seek to address require careful thought and urgent action. We engage in creative piloting and expedient program delivery. We aim to remain nimble and responsive through cycles of working and learning.
Operating principles
We believe engaging in frequent learning, listening, and evaluating will allow us to realize the best possible outcomes. Our organization was founded on the value of continuous improvement: we do not let a day pass without asking our communities, ourselves, and each other how we can do better. We expect ideas and candor from our team, program partners and other stakeholders as we look toward accelerating progress together.
Below below you will find our operating principles:
Simplicity
We streamline our work from every angle possible – from communications to strategy to process – to create less confusion, more alignment, and ultimately better outcomes.
COLLABORATION
We eagerly learn from others and share our expertise among our team and with our external partners. We are committed to building trusting relationships that result in smarter action for both the foundation and its partners.
focus
There are countless issues to be addressed and opportunities to improve and change the world around us; we will only select a small number of areas to bring more meaningful change.
rigor
We set up processes and structures to ensure that our work is thorough and has depth. We are disciplined in our dedication to rigor for ourselves and expect the same of our partners.
