Laurene Powell Jobs, in an editorial at The Wall Street Journal:
We are living in a moment when giving is too often used not to serve but to control—to decide what matters and which rules should apply. Some of the loudest voices in public life now assert that their donations give them carte blanche to dictate the terms of belonging.
The whole piece is just on point. Kudos to those who give generously without expectation of recognition or favor.

True generosity flows quietly to communities that already know what they need, building capacity not dependency.
