We envision a world where all people have voice and power to participate, and our natural resources are vibrant and resilient.

OUR SUNSET ASPIRATION

As we approach the close of our chapter, we do so in deep commitment to those we’ve walked alongside. We have planted seeds and witnessed them blossom across communities and movements—proof of what is possible when we lead with inclusion, listen with generosity, and stand courageously behind those imagining futures in the face of struggle and uncertainty.

Our aspiration is to come closer to our partners to ask what they truly need to take flight, and to offer the kind of steadfast support that allows transformation to unfold. We have always believed in a practice of philanthropy rooted in joy, even when joy demands hard work and the daily act of embodying our values.

We embrace a spirit of hope and possibility. And above all, we honor the privilege of courage—the courage to listen, to change, to let go, and to trust that the future is already rising in the hands of those we’ve had the honor to accompany.
