Our Approach
Our North Star is a world where people across America treat each other with curiosity, concern, and care across our differences, solve problems productively, and stand up for each other’s dignity and well-being.
We want more and many types of people, communities, and institutions to:
Be inspired to approach difference with openness, empathy, and hope.
Come together to build trust, take action, and move through conflict productively, resulting in greater respect and belonging for everyone.
Learn from and resource a vibrant ecosystem of pluralism researchers, storytellers, and practitioners to strengthen their impact.
We are a pooled fund and a field catalyst that makes change happen by investing resources, connecting people and ideas, strengthening how we understand and express pluralism, and inspiring many types of communities, people, institutions, and leaders to join us. We make chage happen by:
Investing resources
In the first three years, we raised $40M+ towards our 10-year goal of $100M and invested $30M+ to strengthen the ecosystem and catalyze community-driven pluralism.
Connecting people and ideas
We build trust and belonging among our partners, creating opportunities for leaders to elevate their work, work together on collective challenges, and share insights.
Strengthening how we understand and express pluralism
We support research and practice collaborations and knowledge networks, so we can all better understand what pluralism is and how to put it into action.
Inspiring many types of communities, people, institutions, and leaders to join us
We use our platform and leverage our resources to champion pluralism within philanthropy. Pluralism is essential to the issues and communities many funders care about—so let’s invest accordingly.
