The decisive factor is not whether capital is working, but how consciously we use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the ROOTS \u0026 BRIDGES Legacy Fund, we use the mechanisms of the financial system to finance social impact in the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur Goal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA core endowment will be built up as a reserve for our non-profit organization.
