The Stena Foundation recognizes that it is imperative to identify and embody core values to move our mission forward, that is why we are founded upon the guiding principles of UPLIFT. UPLIFT stands for Urgency, Purpose, Leverage, Insight, Focus, and Teamwork. These values influence every decision we make, inspiring us to uplift individuals and their communities in unique and impactful ways.
Urgency implies persistence. When it comes to our mission, we hope to be exactly that. We are earnest in achieving our goals and recognize we must take swift action today to help create inclusive economic prosperity tomorrow. We prioritize progress over perfection.
A centralized purpose creates lasting potential. We constantly strive to understand and articulate the “why” behind each of our decisions to ensure our purpose is clear. Our mission firmly remains at the center of all we do.
To leverage can be defined as “using to maximum advantage”. We recognize that we cannot succeed alone. We are committed to leveraging our resources to find the most efficient and maximizing ways to achieve our goals and the goals of the communities we serve. We are eager to partner with others and implement change together.
At Stena, we value insight. We approach every day with a deep and constant curiosity. We are passionate about the issues we are seeking to solve and we recognize that research and data-driven solutions are key to real impact. We must take the time to analyze and look for learning opportunities in all we do.

We all know what works, teamwork! How we treat each other matters, and at the Stena Foundation, we work tirelessly to treat everyone we interact with like members of our team. We cannot expect to make a positive impact on the world without first impacting our stakeholders, partners, and communities.
We recognize that there are many people who operate under values similar to UPLIFT. We hope to connect with and hear stories about those who personify urgency, purpose, leverage, insight, focus, and teamwork. If you would like to share an UPLIFT moment of the week with us please follow us on social media and stay tuned or feel free to email uplift@stenafoundation.org we’d love to hear from you!
Our mission is to strengthen the foundation of economic prosperity through increased access to quality education and financial inclusion. In following this mission, the Stena Foundation is confident that it can assist individuals, families, and communities in their quest to thrive in today’s world, rather than just survive.

We are all team members and each one of us is equally important to attaining our goals. Words matter. How we treat each other matters. You can’t expect to make a positive impact on the world without first attending to your stakeholders, partners, and mission-focused communities.
The ability to hone in on a task, and to make every minute matter is what turns insight into action. When we choose to focus, we make the best use of our time and resources.
We practice constant curiosity and have a passion for research and data-driven solutions. It is imperative that we take the time to analyze each step we take and look for learning opportunities. This approach will ultimately drive the greatest degree of mission focused impact.
We recognize that we can’t succeed alone. Leverage is about finding the most efficient way to partner with our networks and to use our resources to achieve our goals.
We must understand the why and strive to do the right thing every time. Our mission is firmly front and center. Always.
