"I don’t take for granted that I have a job, and I never assume that my high performance is a guarantee that I will keep my job. Because people don’t like to be made uncomfortable." -- @ShijuadeKadree philanthropy.com/interactives/2… via @philanthropy

Senior Editor Drew Lindsay was a guest on @EditorPublisher's vodcast to introduce The Commons, a new project from the Chronicle launching April 2 to explore how America’s nonprofits and foundations are working to heal the nation’s divides. #TheCommons bit.ly/3vAHzuy

No longer willing to put up with the long hours, stress, and overwork that are common at many organizations, C-suite executives are re-prioritizing flexibility and their own quality of life. bit.ly/3SPsAER

I want every woman and girl to have the support they need to live the life they want. That’s why my company, @pivotalventures, funds U.S. nonprofits that advance women’s leadership and address the structural barriers that hold them back. Learn more about our efforts👇🏼

More than half of the biggest charitable donors from 2022 are making their debut on the Chronicle's ranking of the 50 biggest philanthropists. Many are not the usual suspects. phlnthrp.com/3E6DNKy

NEW: Move over, Bill Gates. Our latest ranking of top philanthropists focuses on the "everyday megadonor" -- a Boston Pops clarinetist, a Ph.D. in meat science, an attorney who's a regular at the U.S. Supreme Court, and more. philanthropy.com/article/new-na…

The rise of the super wealthy has expanded the roster of megadonors to include some surprising names. The number of Americans with a net worth of $50 million or more has nearly quadrupled in the past decade. Find out who gave the most in 2022. philanthropy.com/article/new-na…

MacKenzie Scott’s giving by the numbers. No. of donations: 1,604. Total: $14 billion. Average size: $9.2 million. Largest: $75 million. Smallest: $300,000. Issue areas favored: education, health, justice and equity. phlnthrp.com/3Pve2rH

MacKenzie Scott is dedicating an unusually large share of her giving to nonprofits in the South — a region that megaphilanthropy has long been criticized for ignoring. philanthropy.com/article/macken…

Thanks to the folks I've talked to in recent months about violence prevention - and to those I spoke with in the heat of the past few days. You were generous with your time and patience, both of which I imagine are in short supply. philanthropy.com/article/from-n…

An interview w/an activist and leader of the "left flank" of the gun-control and violence-prevention movement. @GunsDownAmerica @igorvolsky philanthropy.com/article/gun-vi…

"There’s no muscle memory in gun-violence prevention for actually doing anything."

Morale of the story, give the people money and trust them to make their own decisions with it. The @urbaninstitute reported the effectiveness of cash gifts, and groups like @GiveDirectly and @mayorsforagi are continuing the cash giving trend. philanthropy.com/article/giving…

When giving to Ukraine, the key is for donors to give to nonprofits that have earned their trust & for the orgs to be transparent about how funds will be used, according to experts during a panel hosted by @Philanthropy, @AP, and @ConversationUS. philanthropy.com/article/what-u…

#Philanthropy historian @MckinleyTyrone on @mackenziescott's giving and what makes it unique theconversation.com/how-mackenzie-…

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.

Terrific reporting by @DrewLindsayCOP about the challenges facing "free college" programs. Some fun cannabis puns, too! #philanthropy via @philanthropy philanthropy.com/article/why-ph…

I had a chance to write about education again! Read how hundreds of millions of dollars from the @LEGOfoundation has been used to improve early-childhood education for children in crisis settings around the world. philanthropy.com/article/legos-…

Kudos to my editor @NicoleCOP for suggesting that we examine parallels between #cryptophilanthropy in Ukraine aid work and the emergence of online giving during disasters like Katrina in the 2000s. Also h/t @SMacLaughlin for sharing that history. philanthropy.com/article/is-cry…
