How we work
We aim to be innovative - and laser focused on outcomes - in how we deploy capital toward the solutions we look to design, build, support and scale. We keep measurable impact front and center, and then select the appropriate tool that can help us drive toward progress.
Capital Deployment Tools
We have the flexibility to work across a range of capital deployment tools, and select solutions that best match the opportunity at hand
PARTNERSHIP
We are constantly humbled by those whose knowledge and experience have driven progress in the areas we are exploring. We look to identify best-in-class partners whose objectives align with ours and whose track record of leadership, collaboration and progress inspire confidence in shared successes
Proprietary Programs
Where we see an unmet need – and an opportunity to bring something of real value into the world – we will design and deliver programs in-house
GRANTS
Grants are used infrequently and are typically designed to engage in learning and inform areas of larger investment
Program-related investments
With PRIs, we can catalyze change through investments in scalable impact-focused businesses, typically early in their lifecycle, that are aligned with our impact goals. We may use PRIs to make select investments into nonprofits looking to build out earned revenue or support capital investment
