Mission

To help organizations cultivate data-informed, people-centered practices that advance social justice and racial equity​.

Vision

A world where every individual and community can flourish through equitable structures, ethical use of data, and intentional leadership.

Values

Our work is grounded in a set of core values that guide every engagement, decision, and relationship we build:

  • Dignity

    We recognize the inherent dignity of all people and believe everyone deserves both opportunity and agency in how they lead their lives. Our work is rooted in respect for lived experience, community wisdom, and historical context; we listen to all key stakeholders, centering the voices of those closest to the challenges.

  • Integrity

    We believe integrity allows us to align our values and our deliverables with justice. We reject institutional norms that foster inequities and hold ourselves to the highest standards, honoring our commitments with transparency and follow-through.

  • Learning

    Data and evidence are at the core of our practice. To make progress toward better outcomes, we continuously ask questions, test assumptions, and adapt based on what we learn.

  • Flourishing

    We believe meaningful social change is about helping organizations, people, and communities thrive—and that our work together can feel sustainable, affirming, and joyful along the way.
