"What is interesting to people is not proportionate to its objective importance." - Matthew Yglesias In our Global Priorities course at the University of Edinburgh's School of Economics, we delved into an insightful interview featuring journalist Matthew Yglesias and the CEO of GiveWell. This conversation explored the disparity between public interest and objective importance, shedding light on how society perceives issues. The interview, which focused on GiveWell's top charities and latest research, provided valuable insights into effectively addressing pressing global issues. Specifically, it examined the process of gathering evidence and data to determine the tractability of different charities or issues. The discussion emphasized the importance of asking critical questions before implementing campaigns or interventions, highlighting the need for thorough understanding and analysis. 1. What problem am I solving and how does it work? 2. What am I solving? 3. What do I know about the topic? This interview is a must-read/watch for anyone passionate about learning how effective change can be made practically.

It was such a privilege to host a panel at the #CIOFFC this morning, exploring the ways in which we can create a culture of collective learning between academics and fundraisers. As expected, the perspectives shared by Haseeb Shabbir, Claire Routley and Dr Rita Kottasz were brilliant. But it was a delightful surprise to have such insightful contributions from the audience too. There was real energy around the potential for more academic-practitioner collaborations. For those not able to be there, here's the key takeaways: 1?? check out the Journal of Philanthropy and Marketing, especially the Dialogue series and Practice Papers 2?? explore higher education opportunities with the Chartered Institute of Fundraising or your local university (many now have research centres dedicated to philanthropy) 3?? look into Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) where HUGE grants are available for research partnerships between universities and non-profits that aim to create robust income streams. What's not to like?!

ACF President & CEO Anna María Chávez recently wrote an opinion piece published in the Phoenix Business Journal. "Given Arizona’s current reality and future aspirations, it's clear we face significant challenges, but also tremendous opportunity. From educating our children, to training our workforce for the skills of tomorrow, to ensuring affordable housing for all and protecting our precious environment, we confront a set of issues unlike any generation that came before."
