“Efforts made by philanthropy to improve our communities in just about any area of social well-being may not be enough and can be undone—sometimes in devastating ways—due to exclusionary public policy. So we believe that philanthropy needs to have a voice, to the extent possible, on public policy solutions that address systemic inequities and, as the Forum’s vision states, catalyze a just and equitable society where all can participate and prosper.” [more] ([link removed])
David Biemesderfer, United Philanthropy Forum

“I want to get beyond funding organizations just enough so they can survive. I want to fund our partners more holistically, so they can move away from pleading for their basic operational needs into a place of sparking innovation, growth, and systems change. I want to fund them at a level where they can have a sense of healthy resilience and, in turn, can foster community healing and resilience.” [more] ([link removed])

“The Women & Girls Index ([link removed]) , released by the Women’s Philanthropy Institute at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, finds that while charitable giving to women’s and girls’ organizations in the U.S. increased by 9.2% in 2020, growth of support for women and girls was lower than the rate of growth in overall charitable giving in 2020 (11.3%), even though the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted women and girls in myriad ways.” [more] ([link removed])

“Since the COVID-propelled boom in personal sharing, [LinkedIn editor-in-chief Daniel] Roth says, the pendulum has swung back — but not all the way back to how things were before the pandemic. ‘The new normal is that you do talk in the office, you are more willing to show who you are as a person as well as how you operate as a professional,’ he said. ‘That kind of vulnerability I think is a permanent part of how people are posting on LinkedIn. So it’s knowledge first, but it’s knowledge plus humanity.’” [more] ([link removed])
