“We invite other philanthropies, other public-private partnerships to also invest in these communities, whether it be on racial equity, whether it be on education, whether it be on land rights.”
– Carla Thompson Payton
“What we’ve learned is that hardly any organization has ever been given the freedom to think big. Mostly they’re worried from year to year, who’s the next funder going to be for the next tranche of work? And that doesn’t allow for really thinking about how I can seriously move the needle on many problems that are out there.”
– Dr. Cecilia Conrad
