As the needs of our community change, the Foundation is shifting our grant processes to encourage more cooperation and less competition, more cooperation and less competition, more focus on outcomes and not outputs, and opportunities for listening, sharing, and moving forward together. The Foundation will build human capital by bringing together knowledge, experience, and expertise in cooperative efforts to support people and places. The Foundation will serve as a champion for collaboration focused on helping meet basic human needs through real-issue, systemic root-cause outcomes, rather than short-term symptoms. GOALS The Engage pillar focuses on our most underserved populations with these specific goals: Decreased percentage of families who are liquid-asset poor Increased healthcare utilization by families below the ALICE threshold Decreased recidivism rate Grants will be given to organizations working toward these goals through direct service, partnerships and collaborations, and system change.
