Our Values

The United Nations Foundation's core values represent our team's highest priorities and driving forces. These values are the heart of how we go about doing our work in support of each other and our member governors and states, serving as cultural cornerstones and exemplified by all members of our team.

Purpose

We are aligned by a common purpose to confront the climate crisis and its impacts through the power of state government. We connect our daily work to the Alliance's mission and, in pursuit of our shared goals, always act in the best interest of our governors and states.

Excellence

We have high standards in the work we do to support Alliance governors and states. We are focused, data-driven, and attentive to the smallest of details while never losing sight of the big picture.

Empathy

We value kindness and treat others with dignity and respect, recognizing that our actions affect one another and all those with whom we interact. We consider growth, learning, and development to be priorities.

Inclusion

We actively work to increase diversity, advance equity, and cultivate a welcoming work environment where everyone feels valued. We are collaborators and prioritize teamwork — knowing that it will take our broader community all working together to ultimately solve the climate crisis.

Balance

We value a positive work environment and, even in the hectic day-to-day, we make the time to build relationships, celebrate successes, and laugh. We know that balancing home and work lives is essential and encourage each other to put the health and well-being of ourselves and our loved ones first.

Benefits & Compensation

The United Nations Foundation offers an excellent range of benefits, including a choice between two health plans, dental insurance, vision insurance, flexible spending accounts, 403b retirement savings plan with a generous matching contribution, group term and supplemental life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, commuter subsidy, and employee assistance program.
