Powering Progress
Our 2022 Impact Report
Powering progress is a multifaceted endeavor, requiring agility and a willingness to push beyond the status quo.
Last year we experimented, ran pilots, and explored how our programs can work together in a way that’s greater than the sum of our parts. While our many initiatives independently power progress and drive impact, the way in which those pieces fit together to support the ecosystem is where our true value lies.
