This isn't about mere survival; it's about thriving through disruptions. Moser also highlights that we're facing a pivotal challenge with compound crises becoming the norm. The need to keep going physically, psychologically, socially, economically, culturally, and politically is paramount. But there is also a need for courageous, visionary leadership and bold transformative action to navigate what she calls a "rapidly accelerating rate of change with unresolvable levels of uncertainty." With philanthropic assets increasing by almost 15% in 2024 to over $1.6 trillion ?? (according to FoundationMark), giving rates remain modest. There is a pressing question: What can philanthropy do more boldly? At a time when "climate" is increasingly politicised in the U.S., voices articulating practical resilience building alongside transformative changes for a just future are crucial.
