Initiatives
The work of our past is the platform for our future. While all of these initiatives began before the launch of our new strategic framework, they help set the context for the future and offer useful lessons for working under our refocused mission and vision. While our investments in these bodies of work continue, we are not accepting any new grant proposals within them.
