“I believe we have a real watershed moment ... when civil society realizes it operates in a digital era and invents new ways of partnering outside the sector and with nonprofits in the sector – new ways of partnering to leverage this digital reality to support the mission." [more] ([link removed])
– Chantal Forster, Technology Association of Grantmakers, on Digital Impact

“While an increasing number of foundations are on a learning journey and have made well-intentioned efforts to advance their disability inclusion efforts, fewer foundations have established metrics for success for either their internal or external-facing work. Philanthropy, as a field, can benefit from benchmarks and outcomes that help track progress and establish a sense of accountability.” [more] ([link removed])
– Disability Inclusion in Philanthropy, National Network of Consultants to Grantmakers
