Disrupt Cultural Norms
We need your human, intellectual and financial resources to support us as these are always a key variable for any nonprofit to succeed. We are only as strong as our donors, sponsors, social, and corporate partners. We are not a nonprofit who only wishes to check a box and/or play off of the emotional temperature of society. Our existence will be a staple yet our services will constantly develop as a start-up and a cultural disruptor.
