“It’s clear that now is the time for philanthropy to step up and collectively be more data-driven. For years, we’ve seen too much lip service paid to organizing our philanthropic response in a more systematic and equitable way, and there hasn’t been enough adoption of cohesive, data-driven practice.” [more] ([link removed])
C. Davis Parchment and Sarina Dayal, Candid

“Many of the big ideas for reform emanating from philanthropy over the past year— pledges to waive grant restrictions, or to “listen” to community members—have proven inadequate.

Ben Wrobel, Village Capital, and Meg Massey, in Nonprofit Quarterly

“Technology is not always Artificial intelligence or whizbang databases. In this case, technology is making sure that people on the front lines are able to get the delivery right.” [more] ([link removed])
