Mission
- To serve as a catalyst to nurture and inspire philanthropic giving;

- To provide a flexible vehicle for donors with varied philanthropic interests;

To give money is an easy matter in any man’s power. But to decide to whom to give it, and how large and when, and for what purpose and how, is neither in every man’s power nor an easy matter. Hence, it is that such excellence is rare, praiseworthy, and noble.
– Aristotle (384 – 322 BC)
