Imagination Meets Impact
Learning, to Change Our Future
Learning is crucial to individual and family well-being. It’s also key to building thriving and more equitable societies. Too often, current education systems reproduce inequities and create barriers to learning. As a global philanthropic investment firm, we invest in people and ideas that drive holistic learning and seek impact that makes systems healthier and more equitable.
