We are Strategic – Through an annual competitive review process, we hold the programs we fund accountable and require reporting of measurable results against targeted outcomes twice per year.

We are Accountable – We engage experienced community volunteers to oversee every aspect of our management and financial systems to ensure that we are operating at the highest level of professionalism and excellence.
