The public welfare foundation supports efforts to ensure fundamental rights and opportunities for people in need. We look for carefully defined points where our funds can make a difference in bringing about systemic changes that can improve lives. We focus in two program areas: criminal justice and youth justice.
The foundation supports efforts to advance justice and opportunity for people in need, with core values of racial equity, economic well-being, and fundamental fairness for all.
