2024 Annual Report
As we look back on 2024, we’re excited to recall the many changes we embraced. As we continued to narrow our focus on education, conservation, and other areas in need of our attention, we also concentrated our giving closer to home. We embraced AI as a valuable tool to learn more about the sectors we support, and to track our growing impact. We learned to do more with less.
As a private family foundation that aims to disrupt and transform, it takes courage to invest in bold new projects. It also takes courage—and patience—to stay the course on our multi-year grants that may require more time to fully blossom. Thankfully, we enjoy every moment of our work, and we learn from every project and every leader we meet.
We are grateful to our funding partners for bringing us great ideas, and to our staff for expressing our progress so effectively. Every day, we celebrate the presence of our children who are becoming more deeply involved and discovering their own priorities and values.
While of course the numbers are just part of our story, we’re happy to share them here.
