Our Mission: to spread healing and hope to the weak, poor and marginalized. Our multi-faceted, creative and hardworking team of technology advocates, social entrepreneurs and advisors uses expertise in communications, computers, film, music, the law, finance, and business administration to heal, empower and transform. We analyze what's broken, find solutions, remove obstacles, raise awareness, forge alliances, and support the efforts of visionary change-makers. In this way we work in harmony towards our shared goal of positive, measurable and sustainable transformative change.

Our current focus is domestic poverty, and our three-pronged approach includes: systems analysis and solutions; harmony partnerships with forward thinking nonprofits; and awareness raising efforts. In this way, we are working to ameliorate domestic poverty and provide new hope for the disenfranchised on our front doorsteps.

We strive to be -In harmony with hope- by shining light on causes that benefit humanity.

In Harmony...

Seeking societal change through empowering visionary nonprofits requires discerning care in our partnership choices, as if we were choosing between boulders we might attempt to dislodge with a crowbar. We would rather choose the boulder that will gather momentum over the boulder at the bottom of a hill that would tie up resources better used elsewhere.

We strive to add value by empowering others, often taking the initiative in seeking out partnerships. When we do step in to give an organization a boost, we remain mindful that to be of service we cannot seek to impose our own vision or plan. Before we lend our support, we must be certain that the organization does indeed have a vision for change, and that this vision is one that we can get behind.

Finally, we recognize that our skill set is unique, as is the help we have to offer, and not every potential partner would benefit from it, so we also ask ourselves whether our involvement would be in their best interest.

...With Hope!

Intelligent Compassion In Action. We only work in areas where we feel our efforts will make a real difference lifting people up, and we look for ways to measure our results and those of our partners. By acknowledging the possibility of failures along the way to success, we can see what is working and what is not, and do our best job, smartly. We are always learning.

Doing the right thing, smartly, that's our bottom line, and we seek to embody this philosophy in all our work. If a project or partner cannot be described in those terms for any reason (it's not uplifting, not a smart idea, someone else is already doing a good job in this space, etc.) then it falls outside our scope.

We seek to uplift, and to work in an environment that is joyful and fearless. We wish to embody the old saying "Never fear failure; be fearful of not trying." We enjoy our team efforts together, celebrate our successes, and acknowledge our right to occasionally stumble along the path. And we don't listen to naysayers. As Dr. Donald Hopkins and President Carter of the Carter Center have both told us 'Never let anyone tell you what you're trying to do is impossible.' For our readers who are science fiction fans, another favorite quote: 'Never give up, never surrender!'
