Who We Are.
Our vision is to catalyze and accelerate inclusive economic and social well-being initiatives that advance racial and gender equity principles. Our initiatives place an intentional focus on efforts to dismantle systemic racism that maintain communities of color disproportionally underserved, under-resourced, targeted, and marginalized.
We seek funding strategies that support communities of color, immigrants, incarcerated/formally incarcerated, the unhoused, those experiencing mental health and recovery challenges, women, children and youth.
We believe healing is possible only in direct partnership with communities most impacted by systemic harm. In coordination with local government, and in collaboration with local partner organizations, we create opportunities for individuals, families and communities to build resilience and strength, and we fund programs and services that have a direct positive impact in people’s lives.

CTV is committed to co-creating conditions that transcend our current structures and systems, such as those generated through community-led healing practices where the needs of people suffering from life’s challenges are heard and seen. Central to this is our commitment to ensuring racial and gender equity, diversity, and inclusion in all our work. We bring diverse groups together to listen deeply, not only to the struggles people face, but also for the solutions that already exist within each one of us, and in the ideas and talents of individuals and their communities.

We move compassion forward. We offer opportunities to co-create and explore what is possible. We support people in embodying new life skills and accessing essential resources. We meet people right where they are and create a safe space that honors each person. We invite people to learn new tools through choice and how to develop a deeper sense of self-awareness and life purpose. We cultivate lasting changes through ongoing restorative practices and community relationship building that supports and nurtures positive growth and new ways of being. Our approach is open to everyone regardless of the stage of life, place, time, or circumstance.

Together, in partnership with community, we create conditions and offer opportunities to co-create and explore transformative solutions to the most pressing and urgent needs of our time. Through our community-based model for holistic services, we provide programs and support services to individuals, families, communities, and neighborhoods who have been historically and systematically marginalized, excluded, and/or prevented from accessing essential resources that promote economic and social wellbeing.
