Strategy

Belonging and People Power

Overview

"Connection is why we are here. It is what gives meaning and purpose to our lives."

Belonging and people power are fundamental to individual and community well being. Saint Luke’s Foundation prioritizes nonpartisan efforts that make people feel heard, valued, connected, and able to shape the decisions that affect their lives and communities. When we build the capacity of individuals to act together for the common good, and foster connections between neighbors, communities flourish.

Guided by our value for diverse perspectives, we invest in relationships, networks, and systems that enable people, especially those most impacted by inequity, meaningfully participate in civic life and decision making. Through this work, we strengthen social connectedness, elevate community voice, and build the collective power necessary for healthier, more resilient communities.
