"Thinking about giving only in terms of money is like thinking about love only in terms of diamonds," says @RadioFreeAsha, CEO of @GivingTuesday, for @TEDTalks. "Generosity ... builds bridges between us ... One small act at a time."

We're so excited to share @RadioFreeAsha's powerful TED talk, “Why Helping People Makes You Happy,” how one small act can inspire exponentially more acts, all of which can transform our world and future for the better. https://t.co/yxISzEtvuk

In 2015 leaders vowed to end violence against women by 2030 with #GlobalGoals. Data reflects a grim truth: 1 in 3 still face #genderbasedviolence, a rising global issue. We urge @UN to take action! Watch, share, demand accountability for a #FreeFuture. #UNGAxFord @FordFoundation

What does centering gender look like at @FordFoundation? @stillSHErises and I examine how gender is central to combating inequality. As we center gender across all of our programs, we are working to support a #GenderJustice movement that is under attack.

Inconspicuously and incrementally, #polarization can come to threaten our most prized institutions and freedoms. @HPennington_ and Mark Freeman discussed the latest report from Ford’s Global Initiative on Polarization with @IFITtransitions.

.@ShelbyPearl, @AryaHelle, Morey Riordan, and @Tourmaliiine are leading the way in this moment of great urgency for transgender and gender-nonconforming people, while also finding sources of hope and joy on this International #TransgenderDayofVisibility. #TDoV

[UAF-Africa @UAFAfrica]

During #CSW67 the UAF Sister Funds hosted a panel on how interwoven long-term & acute crises impact #feminist defenders w/@hpennington_ of @FordFoundation, @hrfunders & @FICivilSociety. Takeaway: crises are interwoven, so funders' responses must be interconnected & not siloed.

[Ford Foundation @FordFoundation]

Today, we launched a dynamic, distinctive visual identity that captures our very spirit. Our hope is to not only bring more clarity, depth, and accessibility to our work but invite more people to engage in a vital conversation about inequality.

[Ford Foundation @FordFoundation]

If there’s a continuum between generosity and justice, how do we push our work closer to the latter? Join @DarrenWalker and some of the most important voices in #philanthropy to reflect on "From #GenerosityToJustice: A New Gospel of Wealth," now available. https://t.co/WSaFJfmyJO
