🙏 This is dedicated to all those who have supported the Lab in our creative endeavors and had ...faith that sustainable, bottom-up support over time trumps quick development wins.
To those who believed with us that the long way round is the right way round, and that impact does not need to be immediate to be valuable. Who did not run when we said we didn't have all the answers but trusted our dedication to finding them as they emerged organically.
To our staff & network whose work supports those who always had the solutions but needed the resources and frameworks to bring them to life, your dedication to a fairer world where all benefit is a triumph.
The Lab has grown in size, experience, and network into a nimble but powerful force for change. It is an ever-evolving organism – alive to the shifts in tide, always working to support those who want a better world, whatever their need.
We look forward to the next 12 years with you all!
