with someone saying,
“What if we just built the thing we always needed?”

We’ve spent decades inside the work: fundraising, strategy, community organizing, systems-building, team leadership. We’ve written grants at 2 a.m., rebuilt programs from the ground up, coached exhausted staff, and navigated board dynamics while trying to stay true to the mission.

Looking back, we realized the same truth:

we wished we had spent more time doing the work that actually aligned with our values—the work that created equilibrium, not burnout.

So we thought: why not just do that?
