• To Show organizations how to set targets, measure their progress, and change their behavior to achieve quantum leaps in performance

•To  Demonstrate for foundations, government agencies, and other donors how to act as investors who pursue human gain with the same rigor as investors who seek financial return

•To  Enable communities to harness their own resources to improve people's lives in sustainable ways

Our Vision is of groups recognized for their accomplishments not their activities, grantmakers who are relentless in their determination to increase the human gains that justify their investments, and communities with such vitality that people stay by choice not circumstance.
