* Innovative and broad access to artistic engagement and cultural activities
* Opportunities for experiential artistic expression

* Foster personal responsibility for physical and emotional health and wellness
* Leverage systems to educate and build skills, moving people towards self reliance and family sustainability
Education:
Because we believe a healthy community invests in the future by fostering a passion for learning, we fund programs that encourage:
* Curiosity and critical thinking
* Learning readiness at seminal stages of growth and development
Environment:
Because we believe a healthy community has deep appreciation for the natural environment, we fund programs that foster:
* Access to and meaningful connection with the environment
* Educational efforts that build attitudes and behaviors of environmental stewardship
Neighborhoods & Communities:
Because we believe in strong neighborhoods and communities, we fund programs that foster:
* Social capital through connected and accountable community members
