"In my view, the essay’s message that all philanthropy is equally valid and good was the philanthropic equivalent of “all lives matter.” According to the authors, “philanthropy provides the greatest value when donors enable and encourage pluralism by supporting and investing in a wide and diverse range of values, missions, and interests.”
The problem is that philanthropy is not some sort of sport or brand of ice cream, where it doesn’t matter if you root for the Patriots or the Seahawks, or if you choose mint chocolate chip or rocky road. Philanthropy’s actions often mean life or death.?"

"[F]or example, this concept that Latinx donors might not necessarily be aligned with social justice values; or that Asian Americans just can’t pick a side—are nonpartisan. But actually, if you look at the history of the ways in which these donors have shown up in times of crisis, in times of investing long-term in communities, it may not be called 'social justice' philanthropy but their actions and their investments demonstrate that they are focused on that work. And there are countless examples of this, and a lot of it is not recorded in what you would consider more 'mainstream' philanthropy, or within (c)(3) giving or nonprofit giving."
"Today's philanthropists want to do more than create change; they want quantifiable impact, and many times, they are creating it through collaborative means."
