  1. An Influx of #Climate Cash
    Many #philanthropists are backing away from climate giving. But one is writing very big checks. #MichaelBloomberg, the former New York City mayor and founder of #Bloomberg L.P., has announced $590 million in new environmental commitments in recent days. Some $285M will go to efforts accelerating the transition away from #fossilfuels and toward #renewableenergy at a moment when the Iran conflict is rattling energy markets.

  2. William Weston Patton, Congregationalist, quotes missionaries to the Cherokee nation opposing their ethnic cleaning from their ancestral grounds. A great torrent of iniquity, they are led by God in this “contest”.

    Should missionaries have focused efforts on converting souls?

    How can you pray for those in such a contest? Work to stop torrents of iniquity, starting at least with your testimony against it?

  3. WHERE ARE THE #PHILANTHROPISTS for #LongCOVID?!

    The $ isn’t coming from govt.

    We need mass public & clinician education, research, & support. #C19LAP + is eager to lead, but there’s not a soul out there willing to step up for millions w/ #LongCOVID bc of #stigma

  4. The ‘#BillGates problem’: do #billionaire #philanthropists skew global #health #research?

    Personal priorities are often trumping real needs and skewing where charitable funding goes.

    "In The Bill Gates Problem, #TimSchwab points out how much of the generosity of philanthropists is effectively underwritten by #taxpayers. Had that tax been retained, the #government might have invested it in more diverse and accountable ways."

  5. Very good article on international philanthropy. The only thing I would add is that trust-based philanthropy and spend down by foundations are not by any means new. There is just greater realization that annual grants, micromanaging, restrictions and constant need for innovativeness is not effective. dailymaverick.co.za/opinionist #Philanthropy #TrustBased #SpendDown #Charity #Impact #Philanthropists
