Vision Statement:

The WhiteTie Foundation, a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization, identifies and invests in leading social entrepreneurs -- individuals with innovative and practical ideas for solving social problems.  Our unique approach of strategic giving - a more meaningful, focused and results-driven approach -- focuses on change and builds for the future. 

Guiding Principles and Considerations:

The Foundation largely takes on the agenda of the people we serve. Our business is to help people help themselves. This is not intended to suggest that the Foundation's role is passive. To the contrary, we go out into the field and listen closely. We build strong and supportive relationships with grantees. We provide technical assistance. We broker ideas and institutions. We create partnerships. We undertake analyses of issues and problems and we promote public awareness of them. We help to build broad consensus for change. We seek to empower people to develop their own capacity and the capacity of their institutions to succeed. We leverage not only funds but interest, involvement, and commitment.
