Joy at work.

We believe our life’s work can be a wellspring of joy, fulfillment, and provision. However, instead of filling people up, work is too often draining people, necessitating mental health days, and robbing people of joy. People feel less connected to both those they work alongside and the organizations they are a part of.


The Nicely Ridge Foundation supports organizations that help people unlock joy in their life through their daily work. We’re proud to partner with great teams that prepare individuals to contribute meaningfully in their work, as well as organizations that enable environments that foster growth, purpose, and achievement.

Recreation

We believe that in our digitized, screen-obsessed world, leisure time spent off of devices and in the natural world is a remedy for much of what ails us.  Mental and physical health are thoroughly entwined and both benefit from time spent unplugged from the outlet and plugged in to the outdoors.


We support organizations, movements, policies, and practices that encourage and promote de-digitized leisure time.

The Family

We believe that the family unit is both the incubator for success and the rehabilitation for all measures of failure.


We support organizations, movements, policies, and practices that encourage and promote the two parent family.
