Our Strategic Priorities tackle the root causes of inequity and demonstrate our commitment to equity in action.
People power and movement building
Collins believes collective action creates awareness about issues of public concern, distributes power through civic engagement, and activates people to develop and deliver sustainable solutions for change in their communities now and in the future. We will support organizations serving and mobilizing those most impacted by injustice.
Equitable community well-being
Collins believes transformative change is possible when led by people and organizations that have an active commitment to equity. We will support direct service organizations that demonstrate their commitment to equity.
Capital assets and intergenerational wealth
The creation and maintenance of intergenerational wealth and the equitable distribution of assets allows people to achieve economic stability and well-being. We will support organizations invested in the development and distribution of assets that work to close the wealth gap and secure the economic stability and longevity of their communities.
Belonging and Placemaking
Collins believes that by championing inclusivity and empowering minimized voices in our communities, we uphold the inherent dignity of all people and strengthen the social fabric of our shared places. We will support organizations that share our conviction that every individual should be able to thrive in the communities they call home.
