9/ I’m grateful to many individuals and communities who have shaped this field, shared their time & insights over many years, and have helped make this real, especially @KumarAGarg and @tkalil2050 (and many more IRL!)

Excited for what’s ahead 🚀

[anjali🌻 @ae_fernandes]

8/ We’re also actively seeking input on our future funding priorities and horizon scanning. The future of technical progress in the social sector isn’t inevitable — it’s something we build, and the opportunity to make lives better is massive.
