Our values

Community

We are community lead in everything we do. We want our Foundation to be the vehicle for creating a sense of belonging and trust in diverse communities and a way for people to come together.

To be authentic is to be imperfect and honest, allowing us to connect with people on a more genuine level. Authenticity is integral in our approach to bring people together and create change.

We are here to do things differently and that means being bold in the way we approach our Foundation goals. We come at everything with an adventerous attitude and we are not afraid to fail.

Conscious

We are open minded and challenge our own thoughts and beliefs that are engrained in society.We take ownership of our actions, are considerate to others, and strive to be inclusive in all that we do.
