Education

Diversity & Inclusion

We support communities where all are respected, valued and free to reach their full potential in life. Toward that end, the foundation seeks to fund programs aimed at confronting racism and discrimination, advancing social justice and equity, improving multi-cultural relations and supporting minority-led organizations leading change in the communities we serve.

Sustainable Communities

We continually seek new ways to invest our time and resources in our communities. Funding priorities include support for emergency and disaster preparedness, environmental conservation initiatives and neighborhood improvement programs.
