Thank you @wutrain.bsky.social for providing insight in this terrific 🧵 about the evolution of BPS Sundays to Boston Family Days. Pilots exist for a reason, and @barrfoundation.bsky.social has been proud to support this meaningful program.

I have always learned when in the presence of Rockefeller Brothers Fund President Stephen Heintz. This interview with @philxbuchanan.bsky.social & @gracenicolette.bsky.social from Center for Effective Philanthropy is worth a listen, especially in these times. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...
