Yet joblessness, hunger, disease and even the outrage of slavery persist. But the opportunity is before us. The digital revolution and the resulting access to data now allow us to target our interventions with greater precision — and to tap the great reserve of human ingenuity that exists in every community, family and person. Faced with the combination of outrage and opportunity, philanthropists, social investors and leaders from the public and civic sectors came together at the 2013 Global Philanthropy Forum Conference to understand the choices that individuals and societies can make to extend opportunity to those who are hungry, poor, unemployed, diseased or enslaved. The Global Philanthropy Forum (GPF) is a dynamic, international network of more than 1,800 agile and engaged philanthropists, donors and social investors from more than 40 countries. They are both the architects and beneficiaries of the information age, and they want to see its benefits more evenly shared. Our purpose is to build a learning community and to inform, enable and enhance the strategic nature of our work. Members treat the GPF community as an informal brain trust, and we use the annual gathering to recharge, renew and often reconsider our approach to a given problem. Together we explore the choices before us that shape the future we can make: how to combine and collaborate on effective strategies, source ingenious solutions and bring them to scale, advocate for smart policies, and deploy new tools for the greatest possible impact. At the 2013 Conference, we examined how harnessing data, increasing trans- parency and broadening collaboration can achieve social goals. We asked how data — big and small — can be applied to complex and enduring social problems, while reminding ourselves that data is only useful when we understand the story it tells, and fails to tell. Paul Kukubo, CEO of the Kenya ICT Board, drove home the distinction between access and understanding, posing the rhetorical ques- tion: “What does GDP mean when I don’t have food on the table?” iii 2012 Global Philanthropy Forum Conference We explored the increasing importance of collaboration in a resource- constrained world. Leaders in the sector, like Larry Kramer, president of The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, impressed upon us how like-minded foundations would benefit from sharing knowledge. Pam Omidyar, founder of The Omidyar Group, told us that the public, private and social sectors must work together to address problems as large as human trafficking. Rockefeller Foundation President Judith Rodin urged us to retain our willingness to be “the go-to partner for risk,” noting that “philanthropy is at its best when the work is the hardest and the risk is the greatest.” This sentiment was echoed by Sasha Dichter, Chief Innovation Officer at the Acumen Fund, who warned that the real risk lies in cherry-picking in “slightly easier-to-serve populations” only to find that “in a few years the toughest to reach population hasn’t changed because we skipped a step.” Founder and President of Nigeria’s Wellbeing Foundation Toyin Saraki — who is also a member of GPF’s newest affiliate the African Philanthropy Forum — reminded us that our strategy can’t be only top-down, stressing “the importance of picking champions that exist within communities.” Fellow African, Fred Swaniker, founder and CEO of the African Leadership Academy, closed the Conference by asking us to consider the obligation that accompanies a sense of outrage: “Whenever we face these moments of obliga- tion, we are faced with a choice, do we tackle it or do we walk away? Great leaders are those that can make wise choices when they are faced with moments of obligation.” We agree. On the following pages, you will read the words of these ingenious leaders from the public, private and social sectors who have dedicated their lives to securing human rights, reducing poverty and advancing the social good. As you read their stories, we hope you not only experience a sense of outrage over the problems that persist, but that you see and seize the future we can choose. Jane Wales CEO, Global Philanthropy Forum and World Affairs Council Vice President, The Aspen Institute iv Global Philanthropy Forum 11th Annual Conference v GLOBAL PHILANTHROPY FORUM ADVISORY COUNCIL Fazle Hasan Abed Kemal

  • Update on Technical Assistance Initiative - December 2014
    Update on Technical Assistance Initiative - December 2014 To all of you who make the TA Initiative possible – thank you! I wanted to reach out to share the highlights of the year as well as plans for 2015. When we launched the TA Initiative in 2013, it was an experiment co-created by Dow Chemical and Acumen. We wanted to test new models to accelerate the growth of social enterprises and discover partnership opportunities between corporations and these enterprises. Since then, we have been joined by TA Initiative Partners Unilever, and Barclays, and have been supported by sponsors including Apollo Insurance, Coca-Cola and Standard Chartered. Over 20 of our portfolio companies have attended our Summits. In addition to the two TA Summits, we have awarded thirteen technical assistance grants, engaged the Dow Sustainability Corps in three direct engagements with our portfolio companies, and helped to facilitate new relationships between our portfolio companies in East and West Africa and our corporate partners. Most importantly we have learned a tremendous amount about the technical assistance needs of our enterprises. We have also seen the potential for targeted grants to have a real impact on enterprise growth, and as a result, people’s lives. As we look ahead, we are excited to enter the third year of the 5-year TA Initiative and are counting on each of you to continue shaping our work together. We are in the early planning stages for the third TA Summit May 5-7 2015, and will be in touch with you to seek your input on the agenda.

  • Summer Review Packet for Students Entering AP Calculus-AB
    Summer Review Packet For Students Entering AP Calculus-AB Complete all work in the packet and have it ready to be turned in to your Calculus teacher on the first day of classes on Monday August 16, 2021. SHOW ALL WORK! An answer alone without work may result in no credit given. A CALCULATOR is NOT to be used while working on this packet. The problems in this packet are designed to help you review topics that are important to your success in Calculus. The problems must be done correctly, not just tried. Use your notes from previous math courses to help you. You may also visit the following websites to help: https://www.khanacademy.org/ http://www.coolmath.com/precalculus-review-calculus-intro http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/drmath.high.html We will review these topics for the first few days of school. There will be an examination covering these topics on Friday August 20, 2021. For those that miss any of the review days, you will still be obliged to take the exam on the fifth day because these topics are review from previous classes. Calculus is relatively easy, it’s the algebra that is hard. Most of the time, you’ll understand the calculus concept being taught, but will struggle to get the correct answer because of your background skills. Please be diligent and figure out what you need help with so that we can clarify for you. A little extra work this summer will go a long way to help you succeed in AP Calculus. Print out a copy of the packet from Sonora High School website under Students & Parents tab then Summer Assignments, then choose AP Calculus.
