So, to shape our field, we need to educate ourselves and educate the
philanthropic community as to what is best for the field qua field and
movement, and seek a new form of philanthropy.
.... I realize "educating the philanthropic community" can sounds a bit
presumptuous, however, that’s what we we're doing when we make the case
individually as organizations through proposals or other solicitations.
I'm suggesting we do so with some coordination for our field.
