Voices is a new mini-series from Humanitarian AI Today. In daily five-minute flashpods we pass the mic to humanitarian experts and technology pioneers, to hear about new projects, events, and perspectives on topics of importance to the humanitarian community. In this flashpod, Lindsey Moore, Founder and CEO of DevelopMetrics, joins Humanitarian AI Today producer Brent Phillips to talk about agentic AI and bold new funding initiatives like Humanity AI. According to Humanity AI's website, the coalition is co-chaired by Omidyar Network and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Its founding members include the Doris Duke Foundation, Ford Foundation, Lumina Foundation, Kapor Foundation, Mellon Foundation, Mozilla Foundation, Siegel Family Endowment, and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Over five-years, the coalition plans to dedicate $500M towards making sure people and communities beyond Silicon Valley have a stake in the future of artificial intelligence establishing an AI future where people and communities can flourish. Lindsey Moore offers a grounded perspective on the current state of AI in the humanitarian sector. She observes that despite industry buzz, most organizations are not yet experimenting with agentic AI. Instead, they are focusing on more foundational challenges, such as organizing their data and building domain-specific large language models that can grasp the unique context and terminology of their work. Discussing the Humanity AI initiative, Lindsey and Brent express hope that such bold new funding can, with an informed understanding of the sector, help offset the destructive impact of recent aid funding cuts. These cuts disrupted foundational AI capacity-building that was being carried out by established organizations with deep domain experience, destroying numerous projects and dismantling teams behind them. They make a compelling case for funders to reinvest in these organizations and their important work to prevent hard-won gains from being lost and to scale their forward momentum. The conversation serves as a call to action, emphasizing that for initiatives like Humanity AI to be truly transformative, they must go beyond traditional philanthropy. This means proactively identifying and engaging with the humanitarian community's own AI leaders, reforming conventional cyclic grant solicitation and grant-making processes that too often overlook real sector innovators and builders, and boldly forming new partnerships that make them accessible and open to input, rather than insulated behind institutional firewalls.

Is the fundamental right to give according to one's values under attack in America? Phil Buchanan and Grace Nicolette talk with two influential foundation leaders who are sounding the alarm and fighting back. Tonya Allen, president of the McKnight Foundation, and John Palfrey, president of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, discuss the Unite in Advance initiative — a coalition defending philanthropic rights — and the broader issue of giving as a crucial first amendment right.  The conversation explores why these leaders believe we're at a critical moment for U.S. civil society, how funders can increase their giving while continuing work on big goals like racial equity and halting climate change, and what individual donors can do to protect the American tradition of charitable giving.

In this passionate and timely message titled “Having a Heart for Revival,” Pastor Putnam calls the church to awaken to God's Spirit and embrace the cry of Psalm 85:6 — “Wilt Thou not revive us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?” With both urgency and hope, Pastor Putnam reminds us that true revival is not an event or emotion—it is a heart condition. From the prophecy of Joel to the repentance of Nineveh and the miracles of Ephesus, he shows that revival always begins when God's people humble themselves, pray, and return to Him. Through Scripture and powerful illustrations, we are challenged to let God breathe fresh life into our souls, to remember His unchanging power, and to let heaven once again touch earth. This message declares that revival starts within us—when hearts are humbled, prayer becomes passionate, repentance becomes real, and obedience to God's Word rekindles joy in His presence. As Pastor Putnam shares, the harvest is ready, but revival must first burn in our own hearts. Whether you've grown weary or simply long for more of God, “Having a Heart for Revival” will stir your spirit and call you to be part of what God is doing in this end-time awakening.

In this powerful and joy-filled message titled “The Gateway to His Presence”, Pastor John D. Putnam opens Psalm 100 to reveal the pathway into God's presence. With vivid teaching and heartfelt urgency, he reminds us that while worship is the ultimate destination, praise is the gateway that ushers us in. Pastor Putnam draws from Israel's tabernacle, the walls of Jericho, and Paul and Silas' midnight praise to show how thanksgiving and praise are not optional—they are essential. Praise is more than noise or ritual; it is the key that unlocks God's presence, changes atmospheres, tears down walls, and brings freedom where there is bondage. From clapping hands to shouts of joy, from gratitude for daily blessings to praise in life's darkest valleys, Pastor Putnam challenges us to embrace praise as a lifestyle. For when the praises go up, the blessings come down—and the presence of God fills the room. If you've been longing for breakthrough, healing, or simply a fresh encounter with the Lord, this message will remind you that the gateway is open, and your praise is the key.

In this urgent and Spirit-stirring message titled “A Wake Up Call”, Pastor John D. Putnam declares a warning for both the church and the culture we live in. Drawing from Isaiah 5:20, Pastor Putnam confronts the sobering reality of a generation that calls evil good and good evil, trading light for darkness and truth for lies. He reminds us that the erosion of morality is not just a political or cultural issue—it is a spiritual crisis demanding the church's response. From Isaiah's vineyard parable to Paul's words in Romans 1, Pastor Putnam exposes the danger of redefining sin, the desensitization of our consciences, and the need for discernment in an age of confusion. He paints a clear picture of how quickly society can collapse when truth is twisted and values are inverted, urging us to recognize the urgency of the hour. But this is more than a warning—it is a call to action. Pastor Putnam challenges believers to cling to God's Word as the unchanging standard of truth, to grow into spiritual maturity so that discernment can guide their lives, and to shine brightly as lights in a dark and deceived world. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the chaos of our times, this message will wake you up, call you higher, and remind you that the world is watching—and Christ is calling.

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cedricbfrancis/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

What happens when a major foundation president decides to speak out boldly during a crisis? How can philanthropy surge resources to protect nonprofit workers facing unprecedented job losses? In this season finale of the Fund the People Podcast, host Rusty Stahl sits down with John Palfrey, President of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, to explore how courage becomes contagious in times of sector-wide attacks. You'll discover the real math behind foundation payout increases, learn why one foundation moved from 5% to 6% giving (adding $150 million over two years), and understand the strategic thinking behind multi-year general operating support.Palfrey shares the behind-the-scenes story of how MacArthur Foundation responded to federal cuts targeting nonprofits—from increasing their payout rate to joining solidarity campaigns that have gathered nearly 700 institutional signatures. He offers frank "real talk" about the trade-offs of long-term funding, explains why he believes in the constitutional "freedom to give," and discusses how foundations calculated that nonprofit grantees lost about 12% of their federal funding. This conversation reveals both the possibilities and limitations of philanthropic response during crisis.As attacks on nonprofits continue through 2025, this episode provides essential insights for anyone working in or with the social sector. Whether you're a nonprofit leader wondering how to navigate funding relationships, a foundation professional considering how to increase impact, or simply someone who believes in the power of organized giving, you'll gain practical knowledge about how major philanthropy is adapting to meet this unprecedented moment—and why taking summer breaks might be the most important advice of all.Funding for Real Change - fundingforrealchange.com (true cost initiative tools)Season 5, Episode 7: "The Great Double Standard" (Rusty's rant about foundation overhead policies)Season 4, Episode 10: “MacArthur Foundation Makes Changes to End Nonprofit Starvation Cycle – with Kenneth Jones, MacArthur Foundation” interview about MacArthur's indirect cost policy Season 7, Episode 17: “Meet the Moment: A Call to Action for Funders – with Shaady Salehi, Trust-Based Philanthropy Project”Season 7, Episode 1: “Do Funders Understand the Nonprofit Burnout Crisis? – with Elisha Smith Arrillaga, CEP” on the 2024 State of NonprofitsHR 9495 - "The Big, Bloated Bill" (link to Congress.gov full text)Center for Effective Philanthropy “State of Nonprofits 2025: What Funders Need to Know” John Palfrey's guest post on CEP blog “Courage in Unity: A Funder's Response to the ‘State of Nonprofits'” (June 3, 2025 response to the report)Council on Foundations public solidarity sign-on campaign - (694+ institutional signatures supporting philanthropy's freedom to give)"Meet the Moment" commitment - Trust-based philanthropy pledge (nearly 200 institutional signatures)The Courage Project - Coalition of nonprofits and foundations launched May 2025BioJohn Palfrey is President of the John D. and Catherine T.

In Episode 6 of People, Alpha Warrior sits down with retired NYPD Lieutenant John D. Macari Jr. for a powerful conversation about integrity, accountability, and the cost of speaking truth within corrupt systems. Macari shares his journey from trusted department insider to whistleblower after being suspended for publicly opposing COVID mandates, an act that sparked a broader movement for transparency and constitutional rights in law enforcement. They unpack the cultural rot infecting America's police forces, including the rise of DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) initiatives, political pressure on command staff, and the silencing of officers who question the narrative. Macari reflects on the spiritual and personal toll of going against the grain, and how his decision to stand up ultimately led to greater freedom and purpose outside the force. From internal corruption to weaponized bureaucracy, this episode exposes the ideological battles playing out in America's institutions and the patriots fighting back from within. Macari's story is a call to courage for anyone trapped in fear, reminding listeners that reclaiming truth starts with one voice refusing to be silenced.

In this passionate Pentecost Sunday message titled “The Moment and The Mission,” Pastor John D. Putnam takes us back to the Upper Room and reminds us that Pentecost was not a past event—it's a present reality. With vivid storytelling and compelling scripture, Pastor Putnam paints a powerful picture of the risen Christ who didn't just appear for 40 days—He prepared His followers for both a moment of outpouring and a mission to reach the world. From the sound of rushing wind in Acts 2 to the challenge Jesus gave to 500 people—only 120 of whom obeyed—this message asks every believer: Will you just have a moment, or will you join the mission? With truth, humor, and urgency, Pastor Putnam invites us all to experience the same Holy Ghost that was poured out on Pentecost. If you've ever questioned whether the Spirit still moves or whether God's promise is still for you—this sermon will leave no doubt. It's time to stop standing on the sidelines and step into both your moment and your mission.

In this illuminating message titled “God's Light, God's Order,” Pastor John D. Putnam explores the powerful connection between God's presence, divine clarity, and the chaos of our world. Drawing from Genesis 1, he shows how God's first act—speaking light into darkness—was not just a moment of creation, but a blueprint for transformation. With passionate storytelling and personal insight, Pastor Putnam reminds us that darkness—whether spiritual confusion, fear, or bondage—cannot withstand the light of Christ. As God hovered over the void in the beginning, He still hovers over our chaos today, waiting for an invitation to speak light, order, and peace into our lives. This message calls listeners to stop living in spiritual darkness and allow God's Word to illuminate their steps, reorder their lives, and lead them out of fear into faith. If you're navigating uncertainty or longing for divine direction, this sermon is a timely encouragement to let God shine His light into every corner of your heart.

Daniel Ludwig was the richest man in the world and no one knew his name. I've read almost 400 biographies of history's greatest founders and this book is one of my all time favorites. Daniel Ludwig started his company at 19 and was working on it well into his 90s. He built a massive conglomerate of over 200 companies operating in more than 50 countries. Spending the time to learn how he did this is a great investment. This episode will tell you what I learned from rereading The Invisible Billionaire: Daniel Ludwig by Jerry Shields. ----Ramp gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform.

Ludwig's most notable characteristic, besides his imagination and pertinacity, is a lifelong penchant for keeping his mouth shut.4. I'm in this business because I like it. I have no other hobbies.5. Pertinacity: Holding strongly to an opinion, purpose, or course of action, stubbornly or annoyingly persistent.6.  Risk Game: Self Portrait of an Entrepreneur by Francis Greenburger (Founders #243)7. At his peak, he owned more than 200 companies in 50 countries.8. War makes the demand for Ludwig's products and services skyrocket.9.  Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire by James Wallace and Jim Erickson. (Founders #290)10. He did not mellow as he grew richer and older.11. Some years later, the captain of a Ludwig ship made the extravagant mistake of mailing in a report of several pages held together by a paper clip. He received a sharp rebuke for his prodigality: "We do not pay to send ironmongery by air mail!"12. Ludwig's tightfistedness, however, persisted after the Depression, putting him in sharp contrast to such free spenders as Onassis and Niarchos. It also was largely responsible for many of his innovations in the shipbuilding industry.13. Onassis: An Extravagant Life by Frank Brady. (Founders #211)14. Ludwig's ridding his ships of any feature that did not contribute to profits pleased his own obsessive sense of economy and kept him a step ahead of the competition. When someone asked why he didn't put a grand piano aboard his ships, as Stavros Niarchos did, Ludwig snapped, "You can't carry oil in a grand piano."15. Stay in the game long enough to get lucky.16. The world is a very malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and drive and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think.  The Pmarca Blog Archive Ebook by Marc Andreessen (Founders #50)17. The yacht was as much a business craft as any of his tankers and probably earned him more money than any of them.18. Like the Rockefeller organization, Ludwig had mastered the practice of keeping his money by transferring it from one pocket, one company to another, while appearing to spend it.19. He had learned something by now. Opportunities exist on the frontiers where most men dare not venture, and it is often the case that the farther the frontier, the greater the opportunity.20. The way to escape competition is to either do something no one else is doing or do it where no one else is doing it.21. Much of Ludwig's success was due to his willingness to venture where more timid entrepreneurs dared not go. ----Founders Notes gives you the ability to tap into the collective knowledge of history's greatest entrepreneurs on demand.
