We are adaptive
We are intentional and clear on where we want to get to, but agile and open to shifting our approach to how we get there. We adapt in response to a complex and changing context, learning, and iterating as we go.
We act collaboratively
As a partnership of funders we recognise our interdependence with each other and the wider web of organisations and people we work alongside. We nurture connection and reciprocity by building collective awareness, coordinating and collaborating, and growing the capacity of others to work in these ways.
We think systemically
We see the bigger picture, understanding that deep systemic change requires us to embrace a plurality of approaches. We recognise we are one part of a wide movement of change, and leverage our position to spot patterns and support interactions and actions that impact whole systems.
We prioritise care
We believe that sustainable economic systems must be built on foundations of care and justice – for people, communities, and the living world. We support work to pursue a transformative, caring economy. We commit to practicing care in how we work, ensuring our approaches nurture rather than burden the networks, organisations and individuals we work with.
We find optimism
We believe in our collective ability to redesign our economies; people designed our current systems, so we can transform and regenerate them. We are inspired by the thousands of people building better economies who show us how these alternatives are not just desirable, but entirely possible.
