“I believe that philanthropy must use its leadership, creativity, positional power and resources to support the development of a vision for our country that focuses on promoting everyone’s collective well-being. It’s a vision that tackles the structural root causes of our social problems that we resist addressing as a nation.” [more] ([link removed])
—Rick Williams, Sobrato Family Foundation, on NCRP blog

“We see thoughtful icebreakers as an effective tool for building trust and encouraging vulnerability in group settings—both of which are key to the success of our programs.” [more] ([link removed])
—Abby Saloma and Sharon Price, on Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation blog
