Our values

We lead with heart: We nurture meaningful relationships that will last a lifetime and beyond. We listen to the needs and aspirations of our communities and act to improve lives. We value and honour unique perspectives to harness our collective strengths. We respect and care for each other in all that we do.

We take integrity to the next level: We do what we say we will do. We act with a commitment to unwavering accountability and transparency in everything we do. We do the right thing, even when it’s not the easy path. We are open, honest, consistent and fair. Our decisions are made through a lens of building trust with our donors, partners and our communities. Our ‘why’ is the impact we have on people’s lives.

We embrace boldness: We push for the bold approach; in the priorities we fund, the patients and families we serve, the messages we share, and the risks we take. We balance our humble nature by challenging the status quo and making a brave commitment to always ask ‘what if’. We understand when a bold direction is needed, and we are disciplined in our pursuit of innovative solutions. We remain firm and grounded in doing what’s right and in being open and honest.
