What Our Partners Say
Deborah Alvarez-Rodriguez
President and CEO, Goodwill Industries of San Francisco, San Mateo & Marin Counties Former Vice President for Direct Community Experience, The Omidyar FoundationWe were very impressed by the level and
breadth of research of The
Harwood Institute. They are powerful at
intellectual discovery and are
very good at applying it to real life
communities.
Harwood offers something that is extremely
important, the possibility
of discovering insights into what motivates
people to do good.
I have a strong belief in the goodness of
people, in their aspirations.
I feel a profound sense of joy when I can help
people affirm their
aspirations. For me, it's the essence of
democracy, the freedom to
influence the outcome of something.
People get a sense of belonging, of connection
and meaning and power from working
together.
Harwood affirms the power of people's
aspirations - their hopes, their
core values. They help people recognize what
is best in themselves and
make it real.
