Partnering with us to make a social impact
Center for Effective Public Policy
Through our Social Impact Program, we’ve partnered with the Center for Effective Public Policy (CEPP) to support community-rooted justice reform and access to opportunity. Together, we are helping build a future where every person—especially those impacted by the carceral system—has access to a thriving, purpose-filled life.
One of our most meaningful initiatives is supporting Opportunity Scholars, a project of CEPP funded by the Mellon Foundation. This program empowers individuals with lived experience in the justice system by connecting them with academic opportunities, career pathways, and community mentorship.
We provide event space and in-kind services to support program activities, helping bridge the gap between vision and action. By hosting community events, fundraisers, and milestone celebrations, we create spaces where transformation is not only possible—it’s celebrated.
