Many of you have asked how things are going at the Foundation for Inclusion \u2014 a lot has happened since I last\u00a0sent\u00a0an update!\u00a0Much great news, and a few challenges left.<\/p>\n

The bottom line: Just about all the people and relationships we need are now in place to launch our first initiatives.\u00a0As you know, we take a highly collaborative approach to building collective strategies<\/a> to solve large-scale social problems.\u00a0The problems we’re taking on first are human trafficking and the deep divisions in our society, with a third initiative under development on white supremacy (racism and antisemitism) in America.\u00a0We’re farthest along on\u00a0the trafficking initiative; we’d\u00a0love your help\u00a0identifying funding partners for the others.\u00a0Our mission might be\u00a0ambitious, but we’ve built the infrastucture needed to make the tools used by\u00a0corporate and military strategists available to people working on the greatest social challenges of our time.<\/p>\n

The biggest news of the last six months is our merger<\/a> with Together for Tomorrow, which brought us a fantastic new team, including\u00a0Andrea Lee-Zucker, Jonathan Beninson, Jason Kampf,\u00a0Tolu Olubunmi, and\u00a0Leela Bhashyam, who have joined our board or advisory council and have been instrumental in getting us to where we are today \u2014 ready to hit the ground running! They join our growing list of highly qualified staff and advisers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve been working full-time as CEO since September and probably my most important output since then has been FFI’s first Research Brief<\/a> summarizing the approach we take to solving large-scale problems and a capabilities brief<\/a>\u00a0showing what the platform will look like (let me know if you’d like a copy of that [EDIT: available here<\/a> (pdf)], summarized here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

My top priority now is getting our first initiatives funded and launched. So if you know of\u00a0funding sources that might be a good fit for our work, please make\u00a0introductions!<\/p>\n

Thank you for following our work. I’m always available and interested in your feedback and open to ideas for new problems to take on!<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n
