and impact-obsessed.
We’re determined to change lives. Since we want to change as many as possible as quickly as possible and are laser-focused on getting bang for our buck, we think strategically about how we target our funding dollars. Here’s the thinking behind our strategy.

If we fund programs offering crisis relief to individuals and families undergoing severely stressful periods, we’ll help relieve the harm to their health and well-being.
