Partnering to develop solutions for equity, justice and the greatest social good
Achieve tangible impact in partnership with community
We work with foundations, advocacy, movement-building and direct service organizations to support participatory, community-centered research and change that amplify marginalized voices, build community power and end harmful systems.
Change is possible

We believe philanthropy and social programs have the greatest impact when we center, share and cede power to community. Our participatory approach has supported youth-led organizations, direct-service organizations, policy organizations, government, funder collaboratives, and, philanthropies, on a local, state and national level, in their work to end the harmful impacts of the juvenile legal and child welfare/family regulation systems.
We work with our partners to engage in participatory research, facilitate community conversations, collaborate with lived experts, expose systemic harms, build movements, develop policy solutions, scale or develop new initiatives and supports, launch participatory grant-making, adopt liberatory grant-making practices and more.
