News to brighten your day

Brilliant young woman!

Libraries = precious resource

Real inspiration!

A model of inclusion & effective programs. Hope other cities will pay attention & use what they can to reduce crime & uplift citizens in their own regions. We must learn from each other.

A wonderful foundation leading cutting-edge work in the Midwest: mffh.org/news/missour...

Rolling deadlines don’t always mean flexible timing. A proposal submitted after a foundation’s board packet is prepared may wait until the next cycle. Prioritize strong proposals over rushed submissions. Read more: www.tgci.com/blog Trainings: www.tgci.com/training

Celebrating research & its benefits—for the world!

We are the UNITED States! Inspiration from AOC for us to work together for the good of all!

Libraries: the best of the best! 💙

November can be crunch time for grant professionals. Many foundations tie deadlines to Q4 board meetings, leaving proposals and LOIs due sooner than expected. Check your deadlines now to avoid the last-minute rush. Read more: www.tgci.com/blog Trainings: www.tgci.com/training

Protect trees, protect people, protect the law, protect democracy. VOTE early!

October grant checklist: ✓ Check if your federal program is under a continuing resolution. ✓ Confirm reporting and continuation deadlines. Skip the rumors. Check agency forecasts and your award calendar. Read more: www.tgci.com/blog Trainings: www.tgci.com/training

Fighting with tenacity & courage for democracy & humanity.

Words of encouragement

I can’t tell you how much I needed this message of hope from the great President Barack Obama. 💙👊

Reliable as sunrise, our precious libraries

Ponder that

Know the facts. Be prepared to take necessary action. Protect communities

Supporting education—the foundation for a truly rich & rewarding life.

Passionate, articulate patriots.

Makes sense. No AI for kids. Guardrails for adults. Take control. Use, not abuse.

We are all connected—like it or not. Messy, sometimes hard, brutal & sometimes glorious & sometimes the very best!

Honor the noble, fight the corrupt, and carry on.

Brilliant use of resources to meet the needs of people. And crime is at historic lows. Bravo!

A matter of equitable distribution.

This is not about politics. This is not red vs blue. This is right vs. wrong. This about disgraceful actions of our president —which cannot be tolerated.

About cities, their power & promise & about families of all kinds.

TODAY is the last day to register to vote in several states. I urge you to double check your state's deadline, verify that you are registered, and make changes to your registration if needed. Then contact three friends or family members and have them do the same. https://whenweallvote.org/

Worth watching

Such a horribly accurate assessment: SUPERPOWER SUICIDE
