Stay Connected

With so much shifting around us — politically, economically, socially — this month’s updates center on the question of what keeps us grounded while still moving forward.

This month we’re explore the shrinking public purse and the critical role values-aligned private capital can play in bridging the gap.

Uncertainty remains a constant, but connection—to people, to purpose, to values—continues to ground us. Our understanding of what it means to be in community is taking shape.

The causes and communities that rely on our collective support can’t wait. The need for intentional, equity-driven giving remains constant—even (and especially) in quieter months.

We must keep creating, generating and ideating. Grief requires expression. Rage needs to be channeled. Hope necessitates action.

The fight for the world we want to live in is going to take sustained investment and will require both immediate practicality and long-term resiliency. Healing our world depends on healing ourselves.

Lack of connection has broad impacts, from personal health to collective civic engagement. This newsletter features a tool to evaluate your social connectedness.
