Meet HEFN’s three newest Steering Committee members, Vanessa Daniel (Groundswell Fund), Carolyn Fine Friedman (Fine Fund), and David Fukuzawa (Kresge Foundation). Their leadership adds more brains, more heart, and more experiences to help philanthropy maximize its impact on environmental health and justice.

In it, he reflects on the philosophies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi, and the potential for philanthropy to leverage them for a more just, democratic, clean and fun future.
From our social media desk: reflections on understanding philanthropy's cautiously optimistic approach to social networking and how we want to help more funders make the social media leap.
