In 2023,The California Endowment committed to align 100% of its assets with its mission and vision of wellness, inclusion, and shared prosperity for all Californians after more than a decade of impact investing.

The image shows the IDEXX logo, which consists of the text "IDEXX" in grey, with the vertical bar of the "E" highlighted in red. The font is bold and blocky, with the "E" letter forming a connection between the two "X" letters on each side.

We answered a directive from the board of IDEXX, a global Fortune 1000: Transform our corporate giving program into a corporate foundation with a clear mission. We conducted a deep discovery process that included an industry benchmark to understand where the company fit among its peers. With stakeholder input we authored a founding mission statement and program areas that align with the company’s purpose. By listening to community members the foundation is investing in transformational partnerships and is intentional about creating positive and lasting impact.

Logo of the Woodard & Curran Foundation, featuring a stylized design of a blue and green circle with an abstract wave-like figure within. The foundation's name is written below in blue and green text.

We ran a strategic planning exercise for the Woodard & Curran Foundation that considered its overall operations and impact. With information gleaned from more than a dozen stakeholder interviews we refined the foundation mission statement to be more explicit and accurately reflect its focus on protecting water and the environment. To satisfy employees and community members we developed a two-tier giving model: one hyper-local grantmaking process that allows local offices to support their unique community partners; and a new signature Impact Grant of $100,000.

Logo of Berman & Simmons Trial Attorneys, with "Berman & Simmons" in large green serif font and "Trial Attorneys" in smaller grey capital letters below.

We give voice to survivors of the unimaginable. Through partnership with Berman & Simmons we represent adults who survived sexual abuse at the hands of clergy, teachers, and camp counselors when they were just children, and we represent survivors and families of those killed in a mass shooting. We have given these survivors and their families platforms to advocate for themselves, hold their perpetrators accountable, and to change systems so that their tragedies won’t be repeated.
