THE Four E's
Our team members volunteer their time, skills and energy across four impactful pillars of philanthropy - our Four E’s.
Education
Lifelong learning is the key to unlocking potential. We support results-driven education for people of all ages. At public schools, this includes initiatives to improve literacy, help teachers expand their skills and inspire students in public schools to learn about STEM. Our scholarships and training opportunities offer continued paths to discover, develop and achieve new possibilities.
Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurs are often the spark that ignites community growth. We nurture that spirit by supporting educational and business programs focused on economic principles, free enterprise and skill development. Our entrepreneurial support also extends to small, minority- and women-owned businesses and students in public high schools.
Enrichment of Community
The social and economic well-being of all individuals is essential to the sustainability of our communities. We invest in programs that provide affordable housing, youth enrichment, arts and culture, improved safety and other resources to help people thrive and make their own contributions to society.
Environment
Protecting the environment starts with everyday choices, such as using resources more efficiently and respecting our world’s most ecologically important habitats. We invest resources in efforts that contribute long-term value by improving resource conservation, air and water quality, environmental education and recycling.
