@IKEAUK Wembley is a complete mess and we’ve been waiting for our click and collect for 2.5 hours in the freezing cold with no indication when it might come. What should we do? Resorted to Tweeting at you since we can’t get through any other way. #helpplease

Participatory grantmaking: No one-size fits all when communities lead grantmaking decisions, but it’s on us as giving circles to figure out how to diversify who’s at the table making these decisions in resource allocation. #PEAKlearning @PEAKgrantmaking @nonprofitdork

"Giving circles allow friends, neighbors, families and people with religious, civil, cultural and other connections to learn about issues of shared concern and decide where to donate their money." https://t.co/Wj12JZa6Ym

African American women lose $840,040 over the course of a 40-year career compared with white men. Pretty ridiculous, huh? @AAUW

Wise words from @MadamSecretary’s @TeaLeoni: “That means not giving in to the weaknesses that make us fragile as people & as a country. Not listening to those who tell us to blame others when we feel shut out. And that can be such a tempting message, especially when you’re down.”

@catalistwomen @gatesfoundation Can never get enough inspiration from passionate and generous women! Come hang out with us anytime @catalistwomen.

[Lauren Gross @lg1122]

One reason I’m proud to work at @charitydotorg is our ethos that the everyday donor can make important changes in the world. We are at the 100 Who Care Alliance’s Leadership Conference to support this mission and share @Growfund with these giving circles. #givingforall

Becoming a 2nd mountain type of person is no easy feat. I definitely have a ways to go and don’t have the answers. All I know is that these are the people I want to surround myself with.

The people who lead the best lives rebel against the values of our culture—the assumptions of hyper-individualism and the status markers of the meritocracy. https://t.co/L7JNnNRNB5

Nothing like an invigorating and thoughtful conversation on the future of giving to close out #ggs. @p2173’s perspective was much appreciated and needed! #givingforall #givingcircles
