Values

Our values represent who we are, how we operate, and how we conduct ourselves and our business.

Be humble and dependable

Character is evident through our actions. We endeavor to show up as good partners for our teammates, clients, and counterparts. We focus on the end goal—to bring about positive, sustainable impact—and humbly do our best to help achieve it.

Be passionate and rigorous

Driven by genuine interest in our clients and their missions, our approach is both rigorous and conscientious. We seek out opportunities that motivate our team to perform at its best.

Take risks and pursue new ideas

Creative thinking is indispensable to how we work. We aim to cultivate an environment where our team can take risks and design unexpected solutions.

Create a better world through service

As a social purpose corporation, our top priority is contributing to a better world. We feel it’s our responsibility to do this in an effective, scrupulous, efficient way that maximizes benefits for all stakeholders.

Create joy

Joy is the manifestation that comes when you are on the right path, acting with love, fearlessness, respect, and perseverance. We strive to create joy—among our colleagues and clients through the way we work, and in the world at large through the causes we support.

Learn and live, up close and personal

We are curious, with a desire for deeper understanding through exploration and experience. As we undertake partnerships and engagements, we strive to continually learn about the world and the perspectives of others.

Be intentional

Mindful of our position in the global development ecosystem, we aim to empower international partners through our work. We limit our engagement to areas where the Linksbridge team can add unique and sustainable value.

Joy is the manifestation that comes when you are on the right path, acting with love, fearlessness, respect, and perseverance. We strive to create joy—among our colleagues and clients through the way we work, and in the world at large through the causes we support.

* Team members include Linksbridge employees and affiliates

Linksbridge is always seeking strong, imaginative candidates committed to the global good.

With offices in Seattle and Washington, D.C., our team works and lives on the unceded ancestral lands of the Coast Salish, Nacotchtank, Pamunkey, and Piscataway people.

In solidarity with the Duwamish Tribe, who remain in the Puget Sound region to the present day and continue to bring honor to their heritage, Linksbridge participates in the Real Rent program: we make annual payments to Duwamish Tribal Services equal to the real estate taxes on our Seattle headquarters.
