Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation’s stated mission is to engage family members in meaningful, responsible philanthropy that promotes environmental and human flourishing.
Its Youth Initiative supports direct-service programs promoting resilience, stability, and psychosocial health for youth ages 14 to 21 who have experienced trauma related to adverse childhood experiences. The International Initiative supports programs helping women and girls in developing countries through education, health, livelihoods, and environmental sustainability. The Sustainable Forests and Communities Initiative supports environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable communities in forested regions of the United States. Its guidelines favor integrated approaches and encourage work on business growth, job creation, and forest ecosystem services.
Examples of grantees’ work include CornerHouse, which describes its mission as partnering with families, communities, and systems to reduce trauma and end abuse, and New Friends New Life, which says it restores and empowers trafficked and sexually exploited teen girls, women, and their children. Anishinaabe Agriculture Institute describes its work as restoring foodways, rematriating seeds, and developing an economy based on local food, energy, and fiber. These are grantees’ descriptions of their own missions, not statements of the foundation’s mission.
