I am thrilled to announce that I've signed on to join The Highland Project's growing coalition! As a Highland Leader, I will join the collective in creating and sustaining multi-generational wealth and structural change in our communities. Together, we'll continue to build new worlds with care and safety for our communities at the forefront. #SigningDay #TheHighlandProject About The Highland Project THP has invested in over 60 Highland Leaders and their allies on the frontlines of structural reforms impacting wealth creation through spaces to rest, reflect, and dream. This approach is rooted in our core belief that if leaders are sustained, so too is the change they are leading. Since 2020, THP has committed over $6M in flexible, charitable capital that empowers the Highland Community to imagine and pursue greater possibilities beyond three- and even 10-year time horizons. We invest in multi-generational visions across four sectors essential to building equitable opportunity: education, economic empowerment, political agency and well-being. As millions of people try to see what’s ahead, our eyes are clear. We have held, and continue to hold, the vision and the brilliance to build the world that we all wish to see.
