Livability

Neighborhoods keep us connected and driven. Safe, clean and sustainable environments mean we are around to enjoy the good stuff. Arts and culture fuel our imagination and creativity. Safety builds our sense of security. Space to soak in nature and to be outdoors keeps us grounded. All of these create close-knit areas we can be proud to call home. The Livability Impact Fund supports action and initiatives that build strong, connected neighborhoods that improve the quality of life to make us thrive.

STRATEGIC GRANTMAKING & INITIATIVES

Grantmaking  Our grantmaking team, alongside evaluators and other community partners, works to identify local organizations with innovative programming that promotes incremental change in the area of livability.

Additionally, the Foundation stewards the endowments of many of our community’s arts & culture, environmental and animal-related nonprofit organizations in our region. Endowments support the sustainability of an organization and its mission. To learn more about nonprofit endowments, click here.

Initiatives  Rally, our region’s social enterprise accelerator, works with early-stage social entrepreneurs who are seeking a double-bottom line: a functional business model and sustainable social progress. Past Rally Fellows have had ventures within the Livability space, including WriggleBrew and Kolumi.
