*** Big news in the AI + Philanthropy world ***

Last week, a $500 million five-year initiative called Humanity AI was announced — co-chaired by Omidyar Network and the MacArthur Foundation, alongside Ford, Mellon, Packard, Mozilla, and others. Led by some amazing humans I respect deeply like John Palfrey and Michele Lawrence Jawando!

The goal? To make sure people and communities beyond Silicon Valley have a real stake in shaping the future of AI.

The fund will focus on five big areas:
✅ Labor & the economy — helping workers adapt instead of being replaced
✅ Humanities — protecting artists and creators
✅ Security — mitigating AI risks in areas like climate and energy
✅ Democracy — promoting transparency and civic participation
✅ Education — steering AI toward better outcomes for all students

Grants will start flowing in 2026, with Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors managing the pooled fund.

More info + sign-up: humanityai dot ai

If you’re an organization looking for funding, start exploring how your work might align with their five focus areas and sign up for updates. No clear timeline yet, but early preparation will matter.

If you’re a funder or philanthropist, consider: how might you align with these larger players already centering AI in their programming? What gaps could you help fill? Coordination among donors is going to be critical as we all face the reality of fewer resources but rising expectations.

Nick's Take: Im actually quite hopeful here. We’ve seen individual foundations like McGovern lead the way on AI, but this feels like a major step in the right direction... a coordinated effort to mobilize civil society in shaping how AI actually serves humanity.

I’m old enough to have watched several rounds of tech companies make big social impact investments... only to see those teams and commitments vanish overnight as company priorities or politics shifted. Thats why im still skeptical about OpenAI’s People first $50M fund for nonprofits(while they raise another $400B for the next 12 months) and equally wary of companies like Anthropic positioning themselves as “trust and safety” leaders while quietly normalizing things like default data sharing.

Thats also not to say there arent amazing people working hard in the companies in the social impact roles - there certainly are but a lot "capitalism" working against them!

So yeah, we need philanthropy to play a larger, more independent role in shaping our AI future — one rooted in people, ethics, and accountability. This is an important first step.

Like, comment, share, tag, save if you agree.

Curious what others think about the announcement: What gaps do you see philanthropy still missing when it comes to AI? How do you feel about it.

Sharing is CARING.

I was on vacation when I got the call.

Three years ago this summer.

You know that sinking feeling you get when you know something’s wrong.

That’s how I felt seeing his number pop up.

Why else would Mark call?

***

“I have some news….

Kirsty’s tried to take her own life.

She’s in critical condition.”

***

For two weeks we waited, hoping the doctors could do something.

They could not.

I remember feeling powerless. And incredibly alone.

No one close to me understood the depth and impact that Kirsty Bonner had over several chapters of my life.

And we had so much planned. That's the part that really gets me.

Courses for jobseekers, a new disruptive model for recruiting.

One minute she was here. The next she was gone.

***

If Kirsty were reading this post she’d tell me:

“Too many lines with the story, get to the value part!!!”

So here goes:

Kirsty’s death forced me to get serious about my own mental health.

💚 I invested in a therapist to unpack a number of personal challenges I was going through.

💚 My wife and I started working with a couples therapist to ensure our marriage started on the right foot.

💚 I even invested in a business therapist/coach and coach to work on managing the emotional effects of rapid growth.

It’s made such a huge difference in my journey, truly.

***

Friends, YOUR mental health is really really important.

Don’t wait like me until you lose someone important to you.

Don’t put this off or assume you don’t need it.

So many of us are suffering in silence.

Take it seriously.

Let’s norm this, LinkedIn.

Like/comment if you agree.

Finally, I know that quality mental health care can be expensive and hard to find.

Have resources and tips?

Let’s support each other by sharing in the comments.

The Job Market right now is brutal...

Last month I wrote a post that got a lot of attention on what I would do I lost or left my job today.

Hundreds of you all shared your reflections, advice, frustrations, and coping strategies for navigating career transitions in the comments.

So here’s Part Two... a crowd-sourced sequel, built from your insights and experiences.

If you missed the first post, it’s linked in the comments.

If I lost (or left) my job tomorrow… and had to rebuild again… here are 7 more things I’d do (this time, sourced from you):

1. Rest. Seriously. As so many people reminded me, you can’t job-search on an empty tank. Sleep. Move your body. Get outside. Take a walk without headphones. It’s not wasted time... it’s recovery.

2. Process the Grief. Job loss isn’t just logistical, it’s emotional. It can mess with your sense of worth and routine. Therapy, journaling, or simply talking with friends helps keep that perspective: the layoff isn’t personal, even if it feels that way.

3. Volunteer or Give Back. A number of you said this was the game-changer. It keeps your skills fresh, expands your network, and reminds you you’re still useful. Teaching, mentoring, community clean-ups, pro bono consulting -- all count.

4. Reflect Before You React. Don’t rush into 100 applications. Take a beat to ask: what actually fits my life now? What kind of people, pace, or purpose am I looking for? As one commenter said: read the market before reacting to it.

5. Rehearse Your Story. Practice talking about your transition with clarity and confidence. People want to help, but you have to help them help you. Rehearse the story you’ll tell ... one that’s forward-looking, honest, and hopeful.

6. Experiment and Build. Start that small consulting project, side hustle, or creative outlet. It doesn’t have to become your next full-time thing, but it might. Treat it as a low-stakes lab for learning, momentum, and confidence.

7. Find (and Be) a Support System. Friends. Family. Former coworkers. Coaches. Fellow job seekers. The comment section themselves became a kind of group therapy thread... proof that community matters more than ever.

None of this fixes the broken systems -- but it does make the process less lonely.

If you’re currently in transition, what’s been helping you? What would you add?

***Cool job alert.***. and yes, this one is ours.

TechChange is hiring a part-time Head of Delivery. Someone to help oversee our portfolio of consulting work, learning programs, client-facing events, and our conference portfolio (ICT4D, GDHF, etc). Someone who likes making complex things run smoothly and helping good people do their best work.

Quick details:
--> Part-time retainer, roughly 25-30 hrs/week
--> Fully remote, with overlap into US Eastern hours
--> $6K-$8K/month depending on experience
--> Works closely with our COO and delivery leads

looking for is someone who can absorb complexity and make a call. Less "let me escalate that" and more "here's what I'd recommend, and here's why." Coach-y. Calm under load. Allergic to chaos but not afraid of it.

Nick's Take: friends, great window to be joining the team.We have a stretch of awesome projects lined up over the next 6 to 12 months (and well beyond) with some super partners we genuinely love working with. Big convenings on the calendar. Tech and AI consulting engagements with mission-driven orgs. Learning programs in motion that we're excited about.

The work is really interesting. The team is great(yes biased). Just need the right person in this seat.

If you've spent years running delivery in consulting, learning, or events... and you want to bring that expertise to an org that cares about both mission AND execution... come talk to us.

Some news worth celebrating....

We are promoting Sheerin to Chief Operating Officer at TechChange.

We've been restructuring a bit this year, and as we did, one thing kept being obvious... Sheerin already carries huge parts of this organization: Business development. Team leadership. The hundred quiet things that keep an operation running. She does it with an incredible level of empathy and organization. And she is truly a joy to work with. Proud to call her a colleague.

Thrilled to have her step into this new role.

It's been a hard year. The USAID collapse was rough for us. But we're managing... and we're working with some amazing organizations to build great things: CARE, DataKind, Access Now, Gates Foundation, World Health Organization, Johnson & Johnson, Tata Consultancy Services, and so many more.

And in December we're running the Global Digital Health Forum (GDHF) in Bangkok... first time it's ever been held in Asia.

One more thing.... We're hiring a part time Head of Delivery to support Sheerin and the many amazing staff & contractors who actually power our work. If that's you, or you know the right person, we want to hear from you. Link in the comments.

Mostly though, this is just to say congratulations to Sheerin. So proud of you.

join me in congratulating her.

*** REMOTE JOB ALERT ***

Director, Impact Advisory Services at the GitLab Foundation

💰 $125,000–$155,000 | Fully Remote (US based).

Unique opportunity to lead a growing social return on investment (SROI) and impact valuation consulting practice within the GitLab Foundation... advising major U.S. foundations on ROI-driven philanthropy.

If you’re someone who:
✅ Loves connecting data and purpose
✅ Knows how to translate insights into strategy for large funders
✅ Wants to work remotely on high-impact projects with a collaborative team…

Nick’s Take: This is a dream role for anyone who’s been straddling the line between philanthropy and analytics. Big fan of the The GitLab Foundation. They take a super thoughtful approach to impact measurement: grounded, rigorous, and values-driven. The fact that it’s fully remote makes it even better for experienced social impact professionals who want to work globally without giving up flexibility (you know I love remote roles).

Opportunity alert... who's looking for a job in philanthropy right now?

The The OpenAI Foundation is staffing up, and the people who join in these early days won't just be running programs... they'll be shaping how one of the largest foundations of our time will actually operate. Foundational-DNA early.

I caught up with a close colleague at OpenAI this week who's working on the inside. She's encouraged me to share these roles and help surface some great folks from my network.

Love it or hate it, OpenAI takes plenty of heat in our world. Some of it fair. But I'd rather see thoughtful, mission-driven people on the inside doing the work than sit outside lobbing critiques. And one thing that doesn't get talked about enough... the philanthropy is platform agnostic. They're hoping to funding AI adoption across the field. Thats gonna have big consequences for the sector and Im excited about it.

There are 8 roles open right now:

--> Head of Product and Engineering, Civil Society
--> Head of Grant Operations
--> Head of Communications
--> Head of Talent
--> Chief of Staff, AI Resilience
--> Chief of Staff, Finance & Operations
--> AI Deployment Engineer
--> Executive Assistant

All SF based for the moment.

Full list here: https://lnkd.in/gQ8kjUNs

Here's my pitch to you...

They'll have no problem getting volume on these. But I've offered to help them spot a few folks from my network who I think would be genuinely great, and I want to actually use that.

So if you see yourself in one of these, apply. And if you do, DM me and let me know.

I can't vouch for everyone, especially if I'm less familiar with your work. But I've offered to put a handful of names forward, and I'd love for some of them to come from this community.

*** CALL FOR SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS AND CONSULTANTS ***

Friends, TechChange is expanding our expert and consultant roster as we gear up for a busy slate of projects in 2026.

We’ve already got a TON of interesting work lined up this year… and we’re intentionally building out our consulting business to support organizations doing digital transformation, digital strategy, and applied AI work across a range of sectors.

That means we’re looking for more great people.

If you’re building (or expanding) your consultancy practice and want access to more project-based opportunities, take a few minutes to add yourself to our expert database.

We’ve already hired a bunch of folks from it. Planning to do a lot more of that in 2026.

I know it’s a rough market out there. I know many of you are stitching together work, exploring pivots, or just looking for something steadier. Hopefully this helps connect some dots and gets more people working on solid, meaningful projects.

We work with trainers, facilitators, and convening experts across sector and deep subject matter experts who can jump into real-world projects.

We’re especially interested in folks with experience in:
– Global development
– Digital development / ICT4D
– Climate & sustainability
– Social impact or social enterprise
– Health or agriculture
– Education or philanthropy
…or adjacent fields where tech, policy, and impact collide.

Add yourself to our expert database here (takes 4 mins):

Hit a big milestone this weekend... 325,000 followers on LI.

Seriously grateful for all the help you give every day by sharing, commenting, tagging friends, and spreading this content far and wide.

It’s been eight years of slow but steady growth... about 50,000 new followers a year, 5-6 posts a week. Some travel farther than others.

My growth has been steady, not exponential. Just posting every day and trying to anchor on the idea of adding value to one person’s life through a post in some small way.

Here are some of the things I’m most excited about sharing through the end of the year:

1️⃣ Helping job seekers navigate this truly horrific job market.

If you’re still on the hunt, definitely follow me for my biweekly job listings (curated with the help of the amazing Caroline Ouwerkerk).

Also check out ImpactSource dot AI ... dynamically pulling from over 200 of my favorite organizations, complete with salary and location filters, so you can actually find roles that fit. Great FREE resource.

2️⃣ Getting support on this journey.

If you’ve been trying by yourself for a while, I can’t recommend coaching enough. Spend a little money, get a coach, and have someone help you navigate this tricky time. It’s almost always a great investment... especially if you find the right one you really mesh with.

Check out ImpactCoach dot com for more info on 50+ vetted coaches we’ve got on our roster and get matched today.

3️⃣ The Global Digital Health Forum (GDHF).

This is our big end-of-year event... happening Dec 3–5 in Nairobi. If you’re interested in global health and anything digital, you’ll definitely want to check it out and join us!!!

We’ll have a strong in-person experience in Nairobi, but also a set of powerful virtual sessions so you can join from anywhere. More info at gdhf dot digital.

4️⃣ Kolab.

The other thing that’s been keeping me motivated this year. We’ve made huge progress... now with 20+ active pilots and over 200 demos completed.
Kolab is helping organizations rethink what online meetings, conferences, and programs can feel like. more human, more interactive, more fun.

If that sounds like something your team might benefit from, sign up for a group demo at getkolab dot ai.

5️⃣ Tracking the big shifts in philanthropy, AI, and social impact.

I’ve been spending more time keeping tabs on what’s happening in philanthropy, impact investing, and technology.

There’s so much changing right now with how AI is being funded, governed, and applied for social good.

I’ll be using this space to share observations, new opportunities, and emerging trends that feel relevant to anyone working in the global development or impact world.

Now your turn...

What do you want to see more of?

Any ideas, questions, or topics you’d love me to dig into before the end of the year?

Drop them in the comments... I do my best to read them all.

Thank you again for being part of this community and this long journey.

** Opportunity Alert: Director, AI Opportunity Program at the MacArthur Foundation ***

Last monday, I posted about the Humanity AI funder collaborative forming under the leadership of MacArthur and Omidyar. That post went viral.

Today, sharing a big one: a new Director role to help shape that work.

Many of you raised important points about governance, accountability, and equity in this next wave of “AI for good.” Some healthy skepticism too.. which I share.

Still, I’m hopeful.

It may feel like a drop in the bucket compared to the massive capital flows shaping AI right now, but philanthropy does have a role to play in steering this ship toward something more equitable, community-centered, and human.

This position will be at the heart of that effort.

💼 Director, AI Opportunity Program
📍 Chicago, IL (Hybrid)
💰 Starting at USD $210,100
🕒 5-year term (with potential extension)

The MacArthur Foundation is building a new “AI Opportunity” program to fund work at the intersection of AI, the economy, and the workforce—with a focus on:
✅ Expanding access to good jobs and economic mobility
✅ Supporting community-centered AI innovation
✅ Strengthening nonprofit AI applications
✅ Aligning with the new Humanity AI consortium

They’re looking for a technologist who can bridge worlds—AI research and civil society, employers and educators, philanthropy and public good. Someone who can translate between communities, build a team, and set a vision for how AI can serve—not replace—people.

This is one of those rare moments where you can help shape the field itself.
👉 Read the full posting and apply here: https://bit.ly/4o8uY86

If you’re a leader who’s been thinking deeply about equity, tech, and the future of work... or you know someone who fits that description... please share this.

Really hope some in my network decide to apply. The right person in this seat could make a real difference.

I didn’t plan to build a job board.

A few years ago, I kept seeing the same thing over and over again in my inbox and DMs:
smart, experienced people doing meaningful work… suddenly on the market.

Fast forward to last year, and that trend accelerated in a way none of us wanted. Blah it was terrible. especially across global development, global health, climate, gender, and social impact.

So here’s what surprised me…

ImpactSource.ai — a quiet side project we started to make job discovery less painful ended up being used a lot:

In 2025 we had:

• 650,000+ page views
• 135,000+ clicks on jobs
• 10,700+ job applications started
• 4,000+ live roles on the platform on any given day

No growth hacks.
No aggressive monetization.
Just a simple idea: make it easier to see who’s hiring in social impact — in one modern job board.

If you’re currently:
– Navigating layoffs
– Re-entering the job market
– Quietly looking while still employed
– Or just exhausted by fragmented job searches

I genuinely hope this resource helps.

You can browse by organization, role type, and sector — and all roles are pulled directly from org career pages, so you’re seeing real, live opportunities, not stale listings.

And if you know someone who’s on the hunt right now, please share this with them.
This has been a brutal year for the sector — the least we can do is make the search a little less lonely.

Is the $100 billion wave of AI philanthropy actually coming... or is it the Giving Pledge all over again?

I go deep in my latest article.

Since signing the Giving Pledge, the 32 living original signers have grown 166% wealthier. Meanwhile, America's richest households give a flat 1.2% of their assets a year... and have for a generation.

Those two numbers sit at the center of the biggest philanthropy fight in years.

It started with the NYT reporting the Pledge was unraveling. Then Stripe's Nan Ransohoff argued AI wealth could add $100 billion a year in new giving... and that the social sector "won't cut it."

The responses came from every direction. Lyel Resner on the talent myth. Nathan Chappell on why promises aren't capital. Jeff Bradach on "slow philanthropy." Jennifer Pahlka on government. And a half dozen more.

Was super fun to put this all together and read all of these opinions as well alongside the dozen convos I've been having across the sector on this topic.

The new issue of my LI newsletter maps every major piece and the five questions this whole debate comes down to.

What did I miss? Would love your take. Drop it in the comments and I'll add it to the running list.
