Giving (40%)

To support nonprofits, individual households, and city-wide initiatives aligned with relational, relationship-based approaches.

Every giving decision is rooted in the belief that resources are most transformative when delivered within authentic relationships and sustained support structures, rather than through transactional assistance.
