build our understanding of the planet and the role that we play in
sustainability. We fund projects that bring people together to
learn, act and share to create a greener future for all.
- Grow Connections: A sense of belonging brings purpose to
our lives and is key to building vibrant communities. We support
programs and projects that encourage connectivity through shared
interests, improved accessibility, and the creation of welcoming
public spaces.
