About

We believe that when we insert ourselves into someone else’s life or community intending to effect change, we accept the responsibility to:

• Honor and respect every human being’s value, dignity, rights, and autonomy.

• Do no harm. Good intentions do not absolve us of the unintended consequences that can result from uninformed actions.

• Check our power and privilege, earn our seat at the table, and follow the leadership and wisdom of the people closest to the problem.

• Listen and learn with humility so we can understand the systemic complexity of the problem and the lived experience of those it affects.

• Work collaboratively, respectfully, and inclusively in community with all stakeholders.

• Hold ourselves accountable for results.

• Steward the resources entrusted to us responsibly and transparently.

• Recognize the ethical implications of controlling scarce resources in the face of immense need.
