I am kind of scratching my head over here. Wouldn’t “opening our hearts and minds to the possibility of other points of view” include not accusing the Israeli government of “war crimes” etc. as “There are many good, smart people who strongly disagree with you” about that?

By Steve Latham , CEO & Co-founder at DonateStock – a fundraising platform that makes stock gifting to nonprofits easy and accessible. Philanthropy is at an inflection point and fundraisers are looking opportunistically beyond cash and credit as their sole sources of funding. Persistent inflation and higher living costs have resulted in fewer dollars left over each month, making it harder for most households to support their favorite organizations as they did in prior years.

In reply to Yechiel Nakdimen. Hi Yechiel – I’m not completely sure you got my point… or maybe you simply disagree. There are many good, smart people who strongly disagree with you. The only way we will ever have peace is by listening to one another and opening our hearts and minds to the possibility of other points of view. Prior to October 7th, I completely agreed with you and was only hearing one side.

But despite political and cultural gains that have led to the city’s “ Wakanda ” reputation, Atlanta is also home to a very stark racial wealth divide, according to a new report authored by Alex Camardelle and Jarryd Bethea on behalf of the nonprofit Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

Thank you, Amy, for having the courage to advance this conversation. Those who foster a dialogue are fostering a potential for peace. I agree with all six of the items we should all be able to agree on. The third item is especially important. Atrocities are never justified, even if they are in retribution for a previous atrocity. Atrocities never lead to peace.

If you are a California-based nonprofit or solicit any donations in California, it’s critical to understand California AB 488 (AB 488). A new law that went into effect in California on January 1, 2023, AB 488 is aimed at improving transparency and accountability in online charitable fundraising. While AB 488 is a California law, it could impact all charities in the United States that solicit donations in California, not just those headquartered in the state.

From day one I vividly understood that most people rank asking someone they know, face-to-face, for a nonprofit gift on par with a root canal or a colorectal exam. Even business and community leaders who are virtually fearless in everything else they face in their personal, professional, and civic lives are terrified of asking for gifts. After leading more than 200 workshops and webinars I’ve come face-to-face with these fears, and developed pragmatic ways to overcome them.

By Valerie Wilson The economy doesn’t just happen. Neither do good jobs, or fair work. These are all the result of policy decisions we make as a society. That’s true of the past, but also today, as we face new technological advances that are transforming numerous industries, and the labor market with them. As we settle uneasily into the age of platform gig work, algorithmic management, and artificial intelligence-driven automation, we tend to talk about technological innovation as though it’s a

The world of work has fundamentally changed. The series of waves that the pandemic began have rippled through the Great Resignation, quiet quitting, the Great Regret, and other eloquent phrases that boil down to the same thing: people aren’t engaged at work or enabled to perform at their best. The truth is that engagement and enablement is more important than ever, but how we do it is the critical differentiator for many organizations.

From equitable policies and low-carbon infrastructure to values like collaboration and fairness, we need deep shifts, and we need them soon. As many examples in this series have shown, facilitating the flow of ideas back and forth across national borders is one way to accelerate change.

In our modern world, we are inundated by songs, art, and various forms of pop culture that often reinforce the message that war is inherently bad, while peace is inherently good. This pervasive narrative is deeply ingrained in our collective consciousness, largely due to the influence of artists, musicians, and writers who use their creative platforms to emphasize the moral importance of avoiding war and seeking peaceful resolutions to conflicts.

Thank you for posting this. As a non-Jewish, non-Arab person, it has been my feeling that wrongs are being committed on both sides and there are also legitimate grievances on both sides. It has felt impossible to say anything without angering someone. The idea of separating government actions from the suffering of civilians is an important one, and applicable to many situations around the world, including here at home in the US, as you point out.

And if there was ever a case of one side being right and the other side being completely wrong, this is a IT. I lay down A simple challenge. I will gladly PROVE that the Arab side of the narrative (the Nakba, colonization, occupation etc etc ad naseum) is a complete and unmitigated pack of lies, a complete blood libel from beginning to end.

Thank you, Amy, for leading with ways to hold our values for peace and non-violence, recognizing these are values that many people around the world hold., despite being on opposing sides in a conflict. I believe that our only hope for creating peace is to focus on what we have in common, not on our differences. I was heartened by an interview I heard with Kenneth Roth, former director of Human Rights Watch, that delved into the definitions of rules of engagement in war.

I am very impressed about your courage to stand up to the horrible Antisemitism that has reared its ugly head as a result of the barbarism of Hamas. I do want to voice my vehement objection to your claim of Israeli war crimes and unfortunately the big lie that ANY Israeli government has stood in the way of peace. An objective examination of the situation will lay at the door of Hamas any responsibility for civilian deaths.
