Hi everyone, after a period of reflection and soul-searching, I wanted to apologize for the offensive things I said about donors and philanthropy a few weeks ago. Please forgive me. https://t.co/0le1iWwqSQ
Anyone who has worked in the nonprofit sector for more than a minute has tried to define 'capacity building'. Here's a great rationale for why we should stop trying. @mlittles @helping_change Read it!

A review of my daughter’s art:
How could I not be taken…and excited by Chloë Hight’s contribution to Maryhill Museum‘s Exquisite Gorge II exhibition. The elegance and geometry of her design, combined with her basketry weaving skill, would draw anyone in. https://t.co/ayuYSJ70g8
We hope that with these legal questions behind us, Governor Stitt will finally lay his anti-tribal agenda to rest and come to the table to move forward with us.

Prior to MacKenzie Scott, 9-figure donations were reserved almost exclusively for universities, hospitals, and cultural facilities. She's pioneered a model of giving very large, unrestricted gifts to social service orgs. It's great to see.
If the current way isn't working, we're doing it differently... #columbiagorge#cultureofhealth

@NonprofitAF Kinda gives away the game with 'the approach would benefit the foundation's investments' coming before 'impact on communities.' No kidding.

One of the most fulfilling parts of my job is collaborating with others. It was such a treat to reflect on one particularly fruitful collaborative relationship in my latest @Health_Affairs blog post with @Health4Texas’s Shao-Chee Sim. https://t.co/n6nHtHEZ4X
This is great. But just so you know @NCRP edited my statement to remove the Oxford Comma 😱. Trust me, there will be a stern talking-to. The Oxford Comma is beautiful, practical, and magical.
