"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/interactive… 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

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.

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👇🏼
Did you know that less than 2% (!) of charitable giving goes toward organizations focused on issues impacting women and girls?
Our founder, @melindagates, is trying to change that. Learn more in this article from @Philanthropy: pvtl.ventures/3OznI5I

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…
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…

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/mac…

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/fro…

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/giv…

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.

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!

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-…
