mission & equity | option3 uses digital media to advance dialogue on policy and culture here and abroad through first principles reasoning, social-scientific sense-making, and systems analysis. option3 supports diversity, inclusion, and equity as foundations for belonging, safety, integrity, innovation, and shared flourishing.
origins | option3 began as a blog and soon published its first interview, convened an advisory council, and crowdfunded a short documentary. Next came a podcast.   
sponsorship | option3 seeks a breakout moment in the next 24 months. This year is a critical one for option3 in that we aim to produce content on a more regular basis and potentially hire a new researcher-creator-fundraiser. Planetwork, an educational 501(c)3 in San Francisco, is our fiscal sponsor. Donations to option3 are therefore tax deductible. 
donating | The first step to support us includes speaking with the founder or the executive director at Planetwork. Another first step to support us includes donating via:● Melio: indicating 'option3' in the invoice # field,● checks payable to Planetwork NGO, Inc. at 3450 Sacramento St. #614, San Francisco, CA 94118, and● Zelle, PayPal, or bank wire transfers - all coordinated with Planetwork.
founder | The founder, Robert Cordova, began his career in the sustainable economics program at Redefining Progress, which developed the Genuine Progress Indicator and helped to advance the carbon footprint concept. option3 builds on that tradition and pivots towards anthropological aspects of policy.
