The Libertarian Koch brothers blew off Trump and decided that politics is toxic black hole... and a bad investment. So now their Stand Together group looks like a big pharma ad. They tossed in every newspeak cliché and "diverse" stock photo to rebrand: standtogether.org
"Empowerment", "Betterment", "North Star", "Engaged", "Diversity" etc are words that make me nervous cuz they sound like junket speech word salad And where is the damn obligatory happy Asian? 
The Clinton charity where they charged charities $20K to join so they could network at conferences. All speaking the exactly same gobbledygook feel good language for charities that posed with poor black kids in Africa or held up white paper signs with "viral" slogans.
The Koch's approach seems more pragmatic. Sponsoring educators in 300 U.S. colleges and even seeking left leaning partners to be more effective in bi partisan efforts like ending the war in Afghanistan. The Kochs are insulted by Trump and the left and that might be a good thing.
My advice is to discard charity-speak and revert to plain english. And hey the creepy ad industry recipe for "diversity representation" is 19% ethnic and 2.71% Asian even though 32% of Americans self identify as ethnic and 6.25% are Asian. Go figure. vc.bridgew.edu/cgi/viewconten….
