The foundation encourages collaboration among community groups for grassroots solutions to common problems, ensuring projects have clear, meaningful, and measurable outcomes. It stands against unlawful or unfair discrimination, ensuring resources are accessible to organizations serving diverse communities without bias towards race, color, creed, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, or national origin.
