Work Culture:

The work culture at FCNL is mission-driven, collaborative, and principled, rooted in Quaker values such as peace, integrity, community, equality, and simplicity. Staff are passionate advocates dedicated to creating positive social and political change.

HQ Significance:

Its prime location on Capitol Hill provides FCNL staff with direct and timely access to members of Congress and their staff, facilitating their lobbying efforts. The building itself is a physical embodiment of FCNL's values and commitment to sustainability and community.

Values Reflected in HQ: The headquarters reflects Quaker values through its commitment to environmental stewardship (LEED Platinum design), community (welcoming spaces), peace (mission-focused work), and integrity (transparent operations).

Location:

FCNL's advocacy is primarily focused on influencing United States federal policy. However, many of the issues FCNL addresses, such as peacebuilding, nuclear disarmament, climate change, human rights, and foreign assistance, have significant global implications. FCNL seeks U.S. policies that promote international cooperation, peace, and justice worldwide. They may collaborate with international Quaker bodies and like-minded organizations but do not maintain physical international offices.
