Big congratulations to Ken Griffin for the launch of Griffin Catalyst, a game-changing initiative to drive change at scale. "Griffin Catalyst's support has empowered us to tackle some of society's most pressing challenges on a monumental scale. Their commitment to data-driven, solutions-oriented philanthropy, their willingness to take on complex problems, and their dedication to generating the evidence needed to guide policy and practice are exceptionally rare and critically needed in the world of philanthropy,” said Sadie Stockdale Jefferson, PhD, Executive Director of the University of Chicago Education Lab. One significant example of this transformation is the substantial investment in the Personalized Learning Initiative led by the Education Lab. 📚 In collaboration with Accelerate and other esteemed partners, the Education Lab is dedicated to overcoming the persistent barriers that have hindered the widespread adoption of intensive, small-group tutoring across the United States. With Griffin Catalyst's support, we’re accelerating research to find the best ways to seamlessly integrate tutoring into public education. We’re implementing and testing innovative solutions in real-time to inform policy and practice. 📊 This visionary investment is a testament to the power of data-driven philanthropy and its potential to drive transformative change in education. #philanthropy #Education #ImpactfulInvestment Read more:

We're thrilled to be featured in a recent Stanford Social Innovation Review article! 🙌 In 'To Save Democracy, Fund Organizing,' Loren McArthur emphasizes the crucial role that organizing plays in revitalizing our democracy. But to achieve this at scale, we must address progressive movement groups' financial challenges. Since our launch in 2017, Progressive Multiplier has helped organizations develop and scale independent revenue strategies. By providing targeted support, we help movement groups to reduce reliance on institutional philanthropy. This financial independence allows nonprofits to be sustainable, accountable to the communities they serve, and to respond to their needs agilely 🌱 👁️🗨️ https://lnkd.in/eENvrVYY [#Philanthropy #Organizing #NonProfit #Fundraising #FundraisingStrategy #ProgressiveNonProfits #ProgressiveMovement #CapacityBuilding]
