    Big Dollars for Little Kids: Early Childhood Education

    By Eden Stiffman
    Grant makers’ support of early-childhood education is boosting grassroots organizing and bipartisan advocacy — and spurring more government investment.
  • FILE - In this Aug. 26, 2020 file photo, activist Lauri Dawn Kindness, right, speaks at the Crow Indian Reservation, in Lodge Grass, Mont. Native Americans make up less than 2% of the U.S. population and often are listed in datasets as "other" or denoted with an asterisk. Even when surveyed, the results can be considered statistically insignificant because the sample size isn't large enough or the margin of error is too great to accurately reflect the population. The National Congress of American Indians has said there's a critical need for data that is accurate, meaningful, and timely within tribal communities. (AP Photo/Matthew Brown, File)

    Philanthropy’s Love of Data Must Extend to Underfunded and Frequently Ignored Indigenous People

    By Erik Stegman and Carly Bad Heart Bull
    Indigenous people are typically reduced to an asterisk in research focused on BIPOC groups. As a result, the needs and aspirations of this population are nearly invisible to grant makers and governments.

NONPROFIT NEWS FROM ELSEWHERE

A young activist in Texas has turned a schoolyard insult from a conservative politician into a $2 million-plus windfall for the cause of abortion rights. In July, Florida congressman Matt Gaetz suggested on Twitter that Olivia Julianna was among the women who, he had quipped in a speech, do not have to worry about abortion rights because no one would want to impregnate them. Julianna, a 19-year-old political strategist at Gen Z for Change, picked up the gauntlet. When she challenged her social-media followers to respond to Gaetz by donating to groups that provide access to abortion and other reproductive-health services, the money poured in. She has said she will divide it up among 50 abortion-rights funds. (Teen Vogue)

    Charities That Don’t Embrace Common Financial Norms Tend to Outperform Their Peers

    The Federal Whiplash on Climate Is a Wake-up Call for Better Grant Making

    By Ansje Miller

    Leaders Must Confront Declining Trust in the Nonprofit World — Before It’s Too Late

    By Greg Berman
    Recent surveys show people are increasingly skeptical of nonprofits’ role and effectiveness — a perception that is reinforced by critiques from activists on the left and right. Halting this trend is critical but will require a willingness to ask hard questions and change some long-held practices.
