Mission
Improve the Quality of Life, Globally.
We believe that quality of life is a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors. It is built on the foundation of individual agency and broad and equal access to opportunity based on merit and hard work. It includes the ability for one to define and pursue meaningful goals and dreams, to maintain control over one's financial means, and to maintain the relationships that matter. It requires being a responsible citizen and contributing to your community, with a keen focus on avoiding harm to others and maintaining compassion for those less fortunate.
