The Stanley Family Foundation announced another $280 million for the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at Broad Institute earlier this month, bringing its total contributions to the Massachusetts-based nonprofit over $1 billion.

Philanthropy often begins with attention; a smile, a hello, or opening a door can be philanthropic gesture. It starts when someone notices a need and decides that indifference is not their role.

We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky. Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer. His family has requested privacy.

Streep's investment reflects her enduring belief in the power of amplifying women's voices. One of the museum's earliest and most steadfast supporters, her seven-figure donation will be used for the creation of dynamic storytelling experiences designed to reach audiences wherever they are, from classrooms to living rooms to the digital platforms people engage with every day.

This writer that I admired so much also turned out to be such a gifted and devoted teacher. She has given me a real example of a life of passionate devotion to more than one calling.

Allen's estate announced Wednesday that it has begun the process of selling the team, which is coming off its second Super Bowl victory in franchise history. The NFL did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press, nor did Allen's estate have anything further to add beyond its brief statement, it said. Ahead of the Super Bowl, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell commended Allen's estate on its time owning the Seahawks.

Born in New York and raised in Orange County, Steve grew up with older sisters who shaped his early outlook. He credits that experience with developing a strong sense of empathy and responsibility, qualities that later influenced both his leadership style and philanthropic priorities. Steve attended Esperanza High School before earning two bachelor's degrees from California State University, Long Beach, in Marketing and Business. He later completed one year of MBA coursework at Pepperdine University.

Don't be afraid to say, 'I don't know,'

This reincarnation of USAID's Development Innovation Ventures as the nonprofit DIV Fund is thanks to $48 million raised from two private donors. It is a rare instance of continuation after the Trump administration froze all foreign funding last year and unleashed Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to tear down the agency that delivered U.S. foreign aid for 60 years.

The change in the administration's tactics in Minneapolis is not a retreat. Instead, they are regrouping and planning another mode of attack, with the hopes that their repression might be met with resistance that is easier to control and contain. People who garner their relevancy and power through the dehumanization and oppression of others will do whatever it takes to cling to their soulless sense of self.

Instead, the foundation - one of the largest in the world - will concentrate at least 70% of its funding over the next 20 years on ending preventable maternal and child deaths and controlling key infectious diseases. A third goal focused on poverty will divide its work between U.S. education and agriculture in poorer countries. 'We are saying not only will we not be taking on new priorities, we're actively narrowing our priorities against three core North Star goals,'

Northwestern University has launched the Simpson Querrey Brain Health Institute (SQ-Brain), made possible by nearly $25 million in philanthropic funding from university trustee Kimberly K. Querrey ('22, '23 P). SQ-Brain envisions a future where our brains last as long as our bodies a world where brain health is continuously measurable, modifiable and monitorable across the lifespan, and where prevention of cognitive decline and brain injury is anchored in neurovascular biology and precision medicine.

Brin has committed $20 million to a new organization called Building a Better California, a political and policy effort aimed squarely at California's worsening housing affordability problems, recent state disclosures show, as first reported by The New York Times. The money is part of a broader $35 million launch package that also includes $15 million from eight other wealthy business leaders, among them former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and venture capitalist Michael Moritz, who each contributed $2 million.

Billionaire Ross Stevens wants to change that. Beginning with next month's Milan Cortina Games, he will give $200,000 to every U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athlete, regardless of if they win, in a move to help them gain financial security. Stevens, the founder and CEO of Stone Ridge Holdings Group, donated $100 million to the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) for the program in 2025. It was the largest gift in the organization's history.

This year, the Gates Foundation will spend a record $9 billion and cut as many as 500 staff jobs during the next five years as the world's largest private foundation plans to shutter. The foundation's motivation for its move is to accelerate giving to global health, poverty, and education, helping beneficiaries take ambitious bets now rather than maintaining operations indefinitely. These moves underscore how one of the defining philanthropic institutions of this century is reconfiguring for its sunsetting era.
