The landscape analysis is a teaser of the final report of @generositycomm, which will be coming out this September, which takes these issues on, and more. Here's a taste of the landscape analysis, what I guess you could call it's closing peroration.

Opinion: "The Bear" is about a team of people who commit themselves wholly to a mission — even though the mission is modest, and the path is arduous. The nonprofit field has much to learn from it, writes @EbooPatel of @InterfaithUSA @TheBearFX phlnthrp.com/44ByJs9

A great @InsidePhilanthr article that gives us a view into @CConradCEO's brilliance. @generositycomm is lucky to have her as a commissioner. We learn so much from her contributions as we work together to celebrate & support everyday volunteers & givers. bit.ly/3Ms1vEn

A superb study by @UOsili & @IUPhilanthropy. It recognizes the important role of "everyday" givers, volunteers, & community members. These generous actors are reimagining philanthropy, volunteerism, community. They're the focus of @GenerosityComm which @MikeGianoni & I co-chair.
Our new report on What Americans Think About Philanthropy and Nonprofits looks into the public’s knowledge and opinions about #charitablegiving, philanthropic institutions and practices, and topical and public policy issues. bit.ly/3zzDoxE

While it's impossible to quantify all of the good that happened around the world yesterday - the kindness expressed, time given, hope restored - we do know that in a single day, people in the U.S. gave $3.1B on #GivingTuesday. givingtuesday.org/millions-w…
