Bloomberg Philanthropies Annual Report 2021:
Face the data. Change the world.
<[link removed]>
At the beginning of 2021, everyone was hopeful that the year would bring a
"return to normal." But as the most urgent challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic
began to slowly recede, it was all too clear that we needed to aspire to
something better. That was especially apparent in areas where Covid-19 had
increased the severity of existing issues — leading to a surge in overdose
deaths, causing disastrous learning loss for students who were falling behind
well before the pandemic, revealing the tragic consequences of a health care
system that is rife with racial inequity, and much more.

Those realities informed the approach we took in 2021. As Mike writes in his
opening letter to our Annual Report:
<[link removed]>
Today's crisis always obscures tomorrow's catastrophe. The more time, energy,
and resources we devote to clear and present dangers, the more likely we are to
allow emergencies in the making to go unchecked.

As 2021 began, I was determined to avoid that trap, and so even as our
foundation continued to expand our work helping countries and communities
respond to and rebound from the pandemic, we also did something else: We
stepped back and looked ahead — not to the next variant that might emerge, but
to the next decade, and the next generation.
