“#Philanthropy is and should be the subsidy for our sector.” - @crojasphd at #ForumCon22. One of the reasons why I believe so deeply in funding tech and investing in #digitalinfrastructure for the social sector. ♥️

“We need to take more risk. We need to be bolder. What is it about our sector that keeps us from taking risk?” @annmei @CandidDotOrg on #philanthropy at #ForumCon22

[Candid @CandidDotOrg]

"We don't spend enough time talking about equity and accessibility in technology. Even though we ask everyone to use these tools. It's a massive 'equity loophole.'"

“As a sector we're overly focused on two points: the application process and the reporting process. We really have no idea what's happening before and after that.”

“Sometimes as leaders, you think you’re doing the right thing but it’s not until you walk into the retail store that you see how those decisions really affect people.” Roz Brewer, Walgreens CEO at the Economic Club of Chicago #learningculture #humility

Earlier this week in @Philanthropy, @cocoforster asks (and answers) the question “Why are #nonprofits still struggling to get the financial support necessary to become fully functioning participants in the digital age?” Check it out: https://t.co/mlzasb2pNo

Meeting our missions in 2022+ means investing in #nonprofit tech infrastructure, yes the “boring” tech too. Thanks to @Philanthropy for publishing my impassioned OpEd ✔️

[The Chronicle of Philanthropy @Philanthropy]

Opinion: A collaborative effort … which would combine the resources and expertise of donors, nonprofits, and business and government partners, is sorely needed for nonprofit technology infrastructure. https://t.co/C7Y6i4LNPf

What a remarkable panel yesterday ✔️ with people working to use the assets of #philanthropy in service of #nonprofit success. ICYMI, here’s the recording https://t.co/B5B2kOlOwt

[Candid @CandidDotOrg]

Thank you @TagTechOrg for hosting a great conversation with Candid's @AnnMei, @MozillaData's @AnoukRuhaak, @RWJF’s Adam Liebling, & @KwamePorterRob1. We look forward to a more equitable & efficient sector where #nonprofits can share data 1x and have it accessible to many funders.

@MartinWRodgers @Accenture An incomparable circle of humans I’m lucky to know 💛
