		<description><![CDATA[By Gerard Senehi In her recent post “Evolutionary Philanthropy,” Jean Russell asks, “How do we move upstream of the issues? . . . Is there some greater leverage we can apply further upstream that better catalyzes a world with less suffering and more joy?” Drawing on a conversation she and I have been having for <a href="http://www.inspiredlegacies.org/blog/?p=169"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Jean Russell I follow my intuition a lot. In doing so, I have crept out on a ledge, an edge, a precipice. What is social transformation? Where is the highest leverage point? What is the optimal way to shift the suffering I notice in the world?

		<description><![CDATA[by Rita Thapa I live in the context of a post-conflict transition.  Infrastructures are failing. Leadership is self-serving and commands no respect.  There is heightened corruption and impunity, and the maximum negative impact is on the most vulnerable – largely women.  I note that such an environment promotes self-interest in terms of personal security and <a href="http://www.inspiredlegacies.org/blog/?p=142"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Susan Kirsch As the speed of change accelerates, many people fall into fear, cynicism, and hopelessness. The fear grows from questions like, How will we ever restore social justice?  or How will we survive global warming? or How can I keep balance among the demands for physical, professional, social, economic, and spiritual well-being?&#8221; To <a href="http://www.inspiredlegacies.org/blog/?p=126"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Russ Hall I sense we are at a tipping point in aligning our interests, actions, and especially capital with the world we want to live in.  We may tip back, and not forward, but that’s another post.  Recent developments are encouraging.

		<description><![CDATA[by Melanie Hamburger Money means power. We’re ambivalent about it &#8211; the money and its influence. Yet last year, individuals in the U.S. donated $212 billion to nonprofits. Philanthropy is big business. Women, in particular, are ambivalent about wealth and the power it brings.

		<description><![CDATA[by Radha Stern The donor experience is evolving.  We want to be investors, we want to do more for the organizations we care about and we want to feel part of the “greater goodness.”  Some of us want to write checks and that is it.  My hope is that this latter group becomes the minority.  <a href="http://www.inspiredlegacies.org/blog/?p=75"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>
