Our Vision
Resource Redistribution and Power Shifting
LIFE is committed to disrupting the ways philanthropy has maintained power imbalances by shifting the power of decision making around resources and the priorities of the field back to the frontlines–where they belong.
Transforming Philanthropy
We work to revolutionize the field of philanthropy by creating our own vehicles to drive community-led decision-making processes around resource reclamation in addition to driving systemic change, transparency, and accountability within philanthropic institutions.
Advancing Food & Agricultural Justice
We are dedicated to advancing a more sustainable food system and just world by addressing systemic issues focusing on land and food sovereignty, racial justice, and ecological sustainability.
Our focus is on advancing food and agricultural justice, organizing our people, building critical systems while also transforming philanthropic practices that threaten to hinder our progress towards driving real solutions in our communities. We see a better way to reclaim and move resources–rooted in deep relationships, rooted in the dignity and respect for the brilliance of our people and rooted in the promise of visionary work together for climate resilient, sustainable solutions. We see a better way ultimately shifting power, decision making and governance around resources back to where they belong–to front line solutionaries.
