If there was ever a year to take stock of your blessings and pass them along, this is it friends. I’ve been thinking a lot about all of the ways in which charity is not transformation. Donating money to 501c3 nonprofit organizations is many things—thoughtful, generous, moral. But it doesn’t do much at the root level to change the game of who has resources and who has to ask for them, or who, as is too often the case in our historically unequal country, never gets them at all. I realize this sort of sounds like I’m convincing you giving small donations at the end of the year doesn’t matter. It’s not that. It’s that it
This is an amazing and inspiring list, Courtney. Thank you. One in Northern California that focuses on the needs of low-income families so that their children are fed and clothed for school is Una Vida: https://www.una-vida.org/. If you ever do an addendum to your list, the focus on readiness for learning is a worthy addition.
Beautifully crafted, Courtney. Thank you.
