10 Ideas
We have identified 10 priority ideas and resources that can help transform the system, away from a culture of polarization and towards collaboration. Only a partnership between a donor coalition, like the HDC, and a critical mass of allies will turn these ideas into reality. Ultimately, this list will change and be replaced by a portfolio of investment opportunities curated by the HDC membership.
