Our grantees lie at the center of our work to improve the lives of children, families, and communities, and to restore and protect the planet. In recognition of the critical role that grantee organizations play in creating lasting change, we have collected the following real stories from the field. These stories are just a small sampling of the many that illustrate how the Foundation collaborates with leaders and organizations to find the most effective answers to the challenges we seek to solve together. In future improvements to this website, we hope to feature more vehicles in which grantees can share their stories with the people who want and need to hear them.
