Values.
Your application must reflect consideration of the following four values:
Creativity;
How does your foundation creatively match the complexity of the issue area? What makes the scope and content of your work stand apart from others? How will this generate value-added progress?
Connectivity;
How does your project or program understand and respect the complexity of the issue area? How do you connect the goals and outcomes to this context?
Community;
How does your foundation engage with the people impacted, your on-the-ground team, and the local authorities and service providers who may be involved? How is it informed by the local environment?
Sustainability;
What are the developmental evaluation methods you will use to track change? How will the measures be used as feedback to foster adaptation and resiliency over the long-term?
Our foundation considers these principles integral to appropriately address the complex priorities of our funding opportunities.
