I was on the board of a nonprofit that received funding from MacKenzie Scott. Her no strings attached gift was game changing. More philanthropists need to adopt this model instead of capitalist brained ideas of efficiency that are ultimately counterproductive.
Ah yes, I see it's the time of year when the Philanthropy Industrial Complex (Big P for short) seeds negative stories about Mackenzie Scott because everything about the way she gives money undercuts their entire model...

MacKenzie Scott's game-changing philanthropy still mystifies nonprofits: 'Her gifts are super generous, but unfortunately, they don’t provide long term sustainability'
"What they are saying with trust-based philanthropy is to offer support beyond a check," Indiana University's Pamela Wiepking says, "and that’s typically not what she is doing.”

Celebratory gunfire is no joke. Each year, innocent bystanders pay the price for this highly irresponsible and dangerous act.
Remember, what goes up must come down. Say NO to celebratory gunfire, and pass it on!

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

I met Juanita soon after Jayz was shot when she joined us in Annapolis to fight for our gun safety bills. She now is a tireless activist & has launched a nonprofit foundation in Jayz’s name to create a safe, supportive space for young people at risk of gun violence in areas riddled with crime. 🧡
Her son was killed raking leaves. She wants to save other teens.
Two years after the fatal shooting of her teenage son, a Prince George’s County mother starts a foundation in his honor.
