“We are in the middle of a heart-breaking, lethal social experiment about the compounded toll that global disruptions take when they undermine our health, economic security, and social cohesion all at once.

Philanthropic strategies that invest in a multi-pronged approach to address more than one aspect of well-being via community-based organizations will amplify our impact.”
