On Mon my brother and family are evacuating from Mozambique. They need a place in DC area to self-quarantine for 14 days. They're healthy, but they don’t want to have any chance of infecting my mom. Know anyone who has a second home or apt. in DC.?

Carville: Fdn CEOs should be putting together wartime skunkworks to communicate facts to public--beyond the choir. https://t.co/fL3LiyBv64

How does @WilburforceFdn consistently score with the best-of-the-best on @CEPData’s Grantee Perception Report? @LeapAmbassadors #FundingPerformance profile shares Wilburforce’s experience and improvement insights: https://t.co/oieDoyKymg

So impressed with Rose Letwin & her Wilburforce Fdn. Literally off the charts. https://t.co/oieDoyKymg

"Nearly all foundations encourage their grantees to become more 'sustainable,' but only the best roll up their sleeves to help their grantees line up additional resources from other public and private donors." https://t.co/mnHo02DgzP via @CEPData

Super impressed with the learning journey of @RaikesFdn founders @JeffRaikes and @TriciaRaikes! They're the real deal. https://t.co/2fyVcp2LGK

[Lowell Weiss @lowellweiss]

As you'll see in this @leapambassadors funder profile, @vppartners is showing how funders can go beyond single-org investments to achieve community-wide impact https://t.co/hqc2nYdPRi

[Lowell Weiss @lowellweiss]

Learned from a great mentor that many decisions come down to assessing just 2 things: desirable? feasible? New report by CEP shows that understanding and sharing what works is both feasible and desirable. Big time. https://t.co/hkqtJr8Fwd

[Lowell Weiss @lowellweiss]

Loved learning about the nimble-tent approach to making a difference on issues like immigration, exploitation of children, income inequality, etc.

I'm a big believers in the power of data for learning and improvement. But I recognize people can—and often do—use data in ways that create harm. See this sobering story. https://t.co/PY9mXLCjZe
