- Value [1] Transparency, Participation, and Collaboration
- The Corporation’s mission meshes naturally with the concept of open government. Transparency, participation, and collaboration
are guiding principles for all of our work. We regularly share data and information with the public and seek input about policies
and initiatives, both formally and informally. Our programs operate through collaboration with thousands of nonprofit, faith‐based,
community, and educational organizations. The Corporation’s commitment to the principles of open government comes not just
out of a desire to increase accountability and make government more effective. We also believe citizen participation is essential
to democracy. Since the early days of our nation, volunteers have helped us through our greatest challenges and triumphs –
patriots who fought for our founding ideals, women who reached for the ballot, firefighters who rushed into burning towers,
and ordinary citizens who came to the aid of a disaster‐stricken coast.
