Weekly Reads

“The Building Movement Project’s latest report sheds light on the added challenges involved in executive transitions where a person of color is taking over leadership from a white executive director.

This report. … shows how unprepared our sector is for the impending wave of executive transitions.” [more]

Lee Kuntz, Innovation Process Design, for PND by Candid

“Philanthropy has paid little attention to influencing tax systems.

With a generational shift in tax reform underway worldwide now is the moment to engage, mobilize smart funding and have a major impact.” [more]
Michael Jarvis, Transparency and Accountability Initiative, and Savior Mwambwa, Open Society Foundations, for Alliance
