As part of our strategic direction, we will seek partners in multiple sectors — public, private and nonprofit — who share interest in the goals of our initiatives. While our Foundation will utilize grant making as a primary strategy, it will support other, additional tools to support change.

We want to engage partners in efforts that include: developing promising practices and model programs; developing knowledge to inform policy decisions through research; convening people and organizations around issues; communicating findings to the community and decision-makers through publications and educational forums; and spurring civic action for positive change.
