For those who are under-represented in STEM careers.
  • Science, technology, engineering and mathematics
  • Creating opportunities

Environment
For initiatives that empower the community and provide an additional health or education benefit.
  • Regeneration and renewing
  • Positively impact the local environment

Our values
Collaboration. Empathy. Commitment. Future focused.
