My heart goes out to everyone touched by this virus, from those at the White House, especially the Secret Service and residence staff whose service ought never be taken for granted, to all those names and stories most of us will unfortunately never know. https://t.co/dtEUrcjPAy

[Tricia Raikes @TriciaRaikes]

My heart is heavy with the news of Bill Gates Sr.’s passing. His generous spirit was an inspiration to all who knew him, and he reminded us daily that there is no greater calling in life than to serve others. My deepest condolences to the Gates family. https://t.co/QhrrUxVK8m

[Jeff Raikes @jeffraikes]

Bill Sr. was a great man whose warmth and humanity could fill any room, whose generous spirit lifted others to be their best and whose kindness will be felt for generations.

We will not forget Breonna Taylor. We will #SayHerName. White women, we cannot wallow in our helplessness now. Black women can’t wait for justice and they shouldn’t have to. Commit yourself to racial justice. Let’s get to work. #BlackLivesMatter

I #GiveBig because our community needs our support now more than ever. The @SeattleFdn is working to support Seattle’s working families, communities of color and our most vulnerable through the #COVID19 crisis. https://t.co/nYwZ3GjXCm #GivingTuesday

THANK YOU to the dedicated, big-hearted folks staffing our shelters, food banks, and the new auxiliary centers. You are helping those experiencing homelessness stay safe during #COVID19 and that is so, so important.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

I know this is all hard for you, @realdonaldtrump, so let me spell it out:

- Free testing
- Fee waivers
- Emergency sick leave
- Quarantines
- Cancellations
- Giving a damn

Women are changing the face of #philanthropy – but most of us are white, and that’s a problem. Diversifying philanthropy is key to ensuring that our work is the force for #equity and #justice that it should be @SeattleTimes https://t.co/fTV7FvClQN

[Jean-Claude Brizard @BrizardJC]

“Equality is when everyone has the same thing. Equity is giving people what they need.” Understanding the difference between equity & equality is the first step in finding lasting #EdEquity solutions. Awesome article from @jeffraikes. (Via @Forbes) https://t.co/aWToUzMZDr

.@jeffraikes: "I’m tired of the old trope of government being inefficient. I do not believe that we are here to replace what government does. We need an effective government and capitalism with real guardrails." #CEP2019

[Raikes Foundation @RaikesFdn]

.@jeffraikes: "Many of these people come in with good intentions but they bring in a certain lens about how things should work based on their experience. We need to think about sharing and ceding power and co-creating with communities." #CEP2019

"We're not here to whine and defend philanthropy or attack the critique. We all have a role to engage with these things." @jeffraikes @AnandWrites #cep2019

[Funders Together to End Homelessness @funderstogether]

I look forward to the day when I am not the voice of philanthropy, but when grantmaking feels like radical organizing, it feels like justice, not just investing, because the people most affected have the most influence and power. @AmandaAndere #naeh2019

A regional, comprehensive approach is needed to tackle the homeless crisis https://t.co/Zq2Hcm9ud5 via @seattletimes

[Jennifer Olney @olneyjm]

In philanthropy, the census is a vital tool for our work. With accurate, reliable census data, we can better understand the communities and issues we care about and serve, create priority areas, and inform stronger evaluation. Thanks @FCCPTweets #census2020

Systems are doing exactly what they were designed to do. And, if we are not naming and addressing racism, we’re not really doing systems change. @AmandaAndere speaking at @FriendshipPlace symposium on race and homelessness
