“[W]hen we talk about technology justice, we are not simply talking about tools in isolation. Our interactions with technology are shaped and intermediated by the people who design them, the decisions made on how to deploy them, and the human-created rules that govern them. Technology justice requires understanding who is included or excluded from these processes. … In fact, processes for designing and developing technology are highly exclusionary, often lacking the vital perspectives and lived experiences needed to ensure it works for everyone.”[more] ([link removed])

“Over time, grantees have come to see themselves as part of a wider ecosystem; prior to the creation of the [shared measurement] network, many grantees did not know each other and the work being done in communities. Now, the network has become a community that is allowing grantees to collaborate and better serve their respective regions in ways that are enabling improved behavioral health outcomes across geographies.” [more] ([link removed])

“Collaboration and consensus-building are critical to a sound decision-making process. Embracing diverse perspectives and involving team members leads to stronger and more informed decisions. However, an endless quest for consensus can lead to prolonged discussions, delayed decisions, and diluted solutions. This can drain the team's momentum, deter participation, and hinder progress. As such, leaders must constantly adjust to find the sweet spot between consensus building and swift decision-making.” [more] ([link removed])

“[The new Grantmakers for Education report] Trends in Education Philanthropy: Benchmarking 2023 offers insights into where and how funders are working, their evolving priorities and their role in supporting education innovation that benefits the nation’s learners. The 15th anniversary report by Grantmakers for Education—the first post pandemic—is based on a survey of 142 education philanthropies. The survey results signal that the pandemic and attention to the ways in which systems disadvantage different communities have shifted the investments and concerns of education philanthropists.” [more] ([link removed])
