Thanks Christine. “informed, responsive, respectful, humble, reflexive, empowering.” those are great adjectives that any philanthropist should want to be identified with.

Seems to me that Somerville encourages the same kind of engagement from foundations that Social Actions encourages across the sector -- informed, responsive, respectful, humble, reflexive, empowering. Lots of good insights from Somerville all across the board. Thanks for bringing attention to them! Christine www.socialactions.com Hi Sean,
