I think it’s time for a shift away from the approach that some larger U.S. foundations and key infrastructure organizations have taken to operating in the second Trump administration. That approach has been based on assumptions that may have made sense in mid-November but seem less relevant now.
I’d be the first to acknowledge that the right approach will differ from foundation to foundation based on goals, regional contexts, and other dimensions. To be sure, there are many foundations, as my colleague Kevin Bolduc noted in a blog post earlier this month, that have taken strong steps to confront and respond to the challenges — and severity — of the moment.
