The time for philanthropy to step up is now — not “once we know what’s going on”; not “when we see how it all works out.” Find an organization doing critical work to support the most vulnerable, in your own community or elsewhere. Give them your money. Do it today. Don’t wait.

Always the “up-past-bedtime-'cause-I’m-on-deadline-and-this-thing-won't-write-itself” solo dance break that's the most epic and energizing. Also, I just inadvertently typed Megan Thee Stallion lyrics into this report so if you need an equity strategy with body-ody-ody, call me.
