Washington Post – New Profit and America Forward Acknowledgement

We’re thrilled to see America Forward highlighted recently in The Washington Post as an initiative at the forefront of the growing movement calling for government to serve as an investor in proven, innovative ideas in the nonprofit sector for how to solve social challenges! ”Philanthropy can fail in a way that government can’t. But we can catalyze government investment in growing what works,” says Kim Syman, an America Forward co-founder. “These are crises that cannot be solved by the public sector alone,” says Jane Wales, founder of Global Philanthropy Forum, but if “corporate pragmatism, charitable ethos and government investment” are brought together, solutions can be found and scaled. It’s great that public and media awareness of the need for such change is increasing!
