"We need to give a lot of money and then get out of the way until and unless we are asked for help. [...] Nonprofit organizations [are] asking for multiyear, flexible funding. Supplying this kind of funding is not glamorous and does not demand that we be the smartest people in the room. It does not demand that grant makers have the answers. It does demand that we approach our work from a position of solidarity, not charity." [more] ([link removed])
– Lisa Pilar Cowan, Robert Sterling Clark Foundation, in The Chronicle of Philanthropy
