VALUES

Focus On Nonprofits
As a nonprofit ourselves, the voice and needs of nonprofits are at the core of everything we do.

Iterate To Success
We acknowledge our mistakes and learn from them as we move ahead boldly.

Diversity and Inclusion Make Us Stronger
Diversity—in our culture, beliefs, philosophies, abilities, and experiences—helps us grow as people and develop programs that include everyone.

Team Is Family
Our team is our second family; we care about each other and do anything we can for each other.

Lead With Integrity
We try to lead with our hearts and our heads. We cultivate and celebrate having the courage to make the right decisions, not just the easy ones. We pledge to never compromise on what we believe in.

Have Fun
“If it’s not fun, it’s not sustainable.” – Paul Lipke, Founder, Sustainable Step New England

Fun nourishes and uplifts. Playfulness inspires and binds us. Humor keeps us amused and humble.
