Vision

Through Mitchell Kapor Foundation grantmaking, we seek to:

• Include the perspectives and interests of people of color, their communities, and other marginalized groups when addressing concerns, insuring that neither subtle nor overt racism shapes the definition of issues;
• Correspondingly, afford opportunities to and have a positive impact on all communities, especially low-income communities of color;
• Help people develop empathy, understanding, and connection across lines of class, race, ethnicity, and religion;
• Enhance opportunities for average people, especially in low income communities of color, to renew democracy by participation in and influence on political and decision-making processes at all levels; and
• Render social and political issues more understandable so that people can make informed decisions and advocate for courses of action.
