The four fronts
Where your funding goes
Four fronts, chosen because each one is already being fought, and already being won, by people with live systems in the field.
The presence gap
Presence & belongingMentors, community builders and media in the lobbies, streams and servers where a generation already gathers, and where almost nobody has shown up.
Mental health
Crisis responseHuman beings on the other end of the message at 2am: trained responders reaching kids inside the games and chats where despair finds them.
Builders
Studios, tools & capitalPatient capital for the studios, engines and safety tools that make the next decade of digital worlds worth living in.
The portfolio
Where we are giving and investing first
Organisations already in the field on each of the four fronts. Grants where the work is nonprofit, investment where the work is a company.
