** Leadership
------------------------------------------------------------

Greetings, readers!

Today in the Leadership newsletter, it’s a good news/bad news kind of day.

First, the bad news:
In the last month, AmeriCorps has been gutted ([link removed]) by the federal government. Since 1993, the independent agency has been a vital source of volunteer time and talent to the nonprofit sector. Advocates are now marshaling support in its defense. Next, some good news: A recently released report from the Center for Effective Philanthropy dives into the impact of MacKenzie Scott’s large unrestricted grants ([link removed]) for recipient organizations. (Spoiler alert, they seem to be helping.) I’d wager they’re also a reminder that even in the midst of immediate threats it’s important to think big and reimagine what’s possible. The People’s Network for Land & Liberation is doing the work, building the foundation for a transformative economy
([link removed]) from the ground up. Lastly, we bring you an illustrative clip ([link removed]) on embracing ambivalence, from our recent webinar ([link removed]) , “The Power of Partnership: Protecting Communities and Essential Programming through Partnerships & Mergers.”

One final bit of good news—Leadership Desk Editor Isaiah Thompson will be back on the beat next week! As always, we welcome feedback. Please feel free to email us at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) .
