#alaskaair flight 384 from Seattle to Boston was maybe 100 feet off the ground from landing just now, and took off again. Pilot says there was a plane on the runway in front of us. I have never personally had that happen before.

At @SeattleFdn we are always repping the blue & green! Cheering for a @Seahawks win against the @packers this Sunday. Whatever the final score, we are proud to volunteer alongside @MayorJenny and @CityYearSeattle this #MLKDay. #GoHawks 💚💙
We’ve got our blue & green gear all boxed up and ready to send over to #GreenBay, @MayorGenrich and @BuehlerDennis. @SeattleFdn is SO ready for the @Seahawks v. @packers game! #GoHawks

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation wins first prize as the largest foundation in the world, but you don’t have to give at such a monumental scale to achieve high-impact philanthropy, said Ben Klasky, founder and principal at Seismic Philanthropy. bizjournals.com/seattle/news…
Congratulations to Atlanta, Grand Rapids, Oklahoma City, and San Diego for winning some large first-time #ThriveOutside grants from @OutroodFoundation. I'm excited to see you get millions of families outdoors! #Outdoorist @OIA @tpl_org @rei @thenorthface @vfcorp.
We’re fueling a movement to get kids of all backgrounds thriving outside, starting with the inaugural #ThriveOutside Communities: Atlanta, Grand Rapids, Oklahoma City and San Diego. #Outdoorist oia.outdoorindustry.org/thri…

The most important way to support the future of the outdoor industry is to get kids of all backgrounds outside. That’s why the VF Foundation supports @OutdoorFoundation’s Thrive Outside Communities. #Outdoorist #ThriveOutside oia.outdoorindustry.org/thri…
We'll soon see a vibrant marketplace of issue-based funds which will serve donors just as mutual funds have for investors. You'll be able to choose an issue of importance to you, and a pro will help you give $ to great related charities. @Philanthropy bit.ly/2Hff3nu
There are 1.5 million charities in the US. Deciding which to support can be overwhelming. Donors will soon be able to enter a keyword for an issue they care about and receive instant results of causes tailored to their particular likes. @Philanthropy bit.ly/2Hff3nu
It will soon be the norm for donors to hear directly from individuals they support. Think of making a $100 donation to a food bank and getting several personalized thank-you notes or text messages from some of the people you helped nourish. @Philanthropy bit.ly/2Hff3nu
