About Us

YOUR PARTNER IN IMPACTFUL SOCIAL CHANGE.

We Believe the World Needs Nonprofits

Founded in 1979, we’ve collaborated with nonprofits of all sizes to drive meaningful change in communities around the world.

Now more than ever, we can’t afford to let nonprofits struggle. To make a real impact on the challenges we face today, we need strong, successful, and sustainable nonprofits. That’s why we provide nonprofits with the resources and support they need to achieve their goals.

CRE ENVISIONS A WORLD WHERE

Racial equity and anti-racism are, by design, universally endorsed and deeply embedded into the very fabric of our societal DNA.

In the U.S. and beyond, racism and anti-Blackness have been uprooted as drivers of “deservedness” in how people live,
work, study, play, earn, achieve, love.

The dignity and humanity of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) are recognized, valued, uplifted.

The social sector holds a deep unwavering trust of BIPOC leaders, built on alignment between the message of equity and the act of equity. And boards, funders, leadership, and
decision-makers are represented by, and deeply united with, the communities they serve.

All social justice organizations credibly live out anti-racist values by engaging in continual internal examination and practice, coupled with a conscious undoing of racist and anti-Black policies, beliefs, and behaviors.

ALL organizations that hope for social change first hold themselves and their stakeholders accountable for sustaining a racially just society—a society in which all communities thrive equally; a society in which Black, Indigenous and POC communities are assured a path and supports for restorative, generational repair and healing; a society in which truly, all lives matter.
