Inclusion
We value and amplify diverse voices - both in our workplace and in our work. We commit to ensuring our fundraising and communications practices are inclusive and that our vision includes all voices.
Teamwork
We lead with empathy, compassion, and respect. We work as a team, trusting and empowering each other to get things done, and rolling up our sleeves to help each other out when we need to. We have each other's backs, and recognize that ultimately, we're all working toward the same goal of creating a world of possibilities for kids with disabilities.
Joy
We find lightness and joy and support each other through the tough times. We share laughter, celebrate successes, and bring our whole selves to the workplace.
Integrity
We are thoughtful stewards of our community's donations and our client's stories. We live our values every day, and do the right thing, even when no one is looking.
