Around the Midwest, Joyce works with partners who are
motivated by challenges, unafraid to experiment, and persistent
even when the odds are against them.
Like many foundations, the board and staff at
Joyce recognize the tremendous opportunity we have
to experiment, to try new ideas, to take calculated
risks on concepts and strategies that may not pay
off. Of course we are also pragmatic. We are not in
the business of tilting at windmills. But the powerful
creative drive to find solutions is the intellectual
currency in which our partners trade. It is why our
sector is so vibrant, why many of the country’s
finest minds are at work on the issues we care about,
and why we all deserve some optimism that many
problems can and will be solved.
"Working together to turn today’s big ideas into tomorrow’s big policy initiatives will always be 'what’s-new-at-work' for us at Joyce
," says President Ellen S. Alberding.
