For several years now it has been my honor to serve on the host committee for the Ms. Foundation for Women’s Women of Vision Awards. This year's event is particularly special as Ms. celebrates a number of milestones, including the 10th-anniversary of its remarkable President & CEO, Teresa Younger, the 90th birthday of Founding Mother, Gloria Steinem, and the essential work of grantee honorees, Jamarah Amani of Southern Birth Justice Network, and Rhiannon Carnes of Ohio Women's Alliance, among others.

The event is almost at capacity and ticket sales end on Monday. Join me in paying tribute to ground-breaking work and visionary feminist leaders and consider making a donation to this fabulous organization.

Great read in The Nonprofit Quarterly.

Decolonizing Wealth Project is named a sign of hope for the philanthropic sector. Yes, money can be used a medicine. Reparative philanthropy is the way forward.

In a world on fire, philanthropy must change its approach and buttress movement organizations that speak to the times and can mobilize support for inclusive change.
