It is the duty of people with privilege to wield it in service of dismantling and rebuilding systems to make the world more just and more sustainable. Even when - especially when - these very systems are what conferred advantage in the first place.

Aligning choices with values of every sphere of life (Civics, Community, Giving, Investing, Work, Family, Self) is the most effective way to create change and live a fully integral life.

Ally is a verb not a label. To "ally" is to join forces in service of common interests. Our futures are intertwined.

We aspire to be continuously improving partners towards shared goals. We commit to continuous evolution and sustained impact. We partner for a shared vision of the future.

“If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”

— Aboriginal activists group, Queensland, 1970s

When we feel an authentic sense of reciprocity, we show up as accomplices and co-conspirators. We show up like it is our problem, because it is.

Instead of budgeting what we give, we decide what is enough, budget what we keep, and aim to transfer the remainder to build community wealth.

Asset transfer is the most powerful form of philanthropic gift, the gift that keeps giving, multiplying and circulating in service of communities’ health, stability, creativity, and wellbeing.
