Hope is an antidote to cynicism; and cynicism is the best ally of the status quo. Hope is the belief that the world can be better if you do the work to make it so. Hope is a muscle that requires work and determination – which is why I'm more connected to Hard-Edged Hope.
While risk of unintended consequences is real, so is the promise of the potential of INtended consequences. @Ryanphelan6 inspires and challenges with her powerful talk on using biotechnology to conserve and protect wildlife species. ted.com/talks/ryan_phe…
"America is at a critical juncture and every part of our society must play its part to welcome our Afghan brothers and sisters.They have stood by our side, and we must stand by theirs.” So proud of my friend @hamdiulukaya & @TentOrg tent.org/tent-news/comp…
A corporation acts morally when it balances its rights to a just profit with its responsibilities for the common good—upon which it depends and profits. -- Richard Rohr

It's time to translate empathy into practical solutions to make real change. I had a wonderful time discussing why we need to all dive in and be change makers on @johnsonwhitney’s podcast, Disrupt Yourself whitneyjohnson.com/233-jacqueline…
The older I get, the more I understand that the perfect lies within the imperfect.
I’m honored to be among so many inspiring women and friends changing the face of finance on this year’s Forbes 50 over 50 investment list. Thank you @Forbes nbcnews.com/know-your-valu…
Love this....wanting to know who you are and not just what you do.... twitter.com/alexisohanian/…
G’mar tov, and an easy fast to those observing Yom Kippur, the day of atonement,today. May this be a day for all of us to reflect on where we have created hurts in the past year & renew and refresh from them, so that we can better think on the world that we could build together.
COMING UP: Join @RockefellerFdn's @ZiaKhanNYC in conversation with @jnovogratz on @Clubhouse TODAY at 12pm EST as we dive into how we can use markets to change our systems, rather than be controlled by them: clubhouse.com/join/MoralLead…
Retweeted by Jacqueline Novogratz I could not have been more inspired by the #legatumfellows who are changing the world. All of them see potential where others see despair. twitter.com/mitlegatum/sta…
“It means starting with redefining success, so that we look at our systems from the perspective of whether the poor and the vulnerable are protected.”

Better immersion than to live untouched.
May each of you live lives of immersion, they won’t necessarily be easy lives, but in the end, it is all that will sustain us.

Retweeted by Jacqueline Novogratz This is a brilliant innovation to enable low-income people to access rights to which they are entitled. Just think of the impact in this time of such severe inequality. Proud to support @haqdarshak twitter.com/haqdarshak/sta…

Retweeted by Jacqueline Novogratz Perhaps the best antidote to fear and even to compassion fatigue, is gratitude. To stand where you are and feel blessed.
May we take this day to remember and to reflect on the best that we can be and to recommit to our neighbors, and to the larger world, to reach out with more love, with more curiosity.
The months after that tragic day in New York City brought forth an explosion of love and solIdarity, a reminder of our collective resilience.
So many lives were lost and it is to all of us to remember them,to hold their families close and to keep their spirits alive. So many heroes gave their lives in service of others, and it is to us to hold their courageous spirits. We have so much to remember and so much to learn.
Twenty-years ago, on September 11th, we were moving into Acumen’s new offices located across from Trinity Church, just next to the World Trade Towers. I watched both the first and second plane go into the towers; and we all knew in that moment that the world had changed.
I came across this passage as well as a picture of Teresia, who I met in rural Kenya about a decade ago. The words reminded me once again that while my work is based in the practice of investing, we do it best when it is infused w/ moral imagination #FBF linkedin.com/pulse/infusing…
Discussions like these give me hope that together we can build a future with our shared humanity at its center. #fortuneconnect
We spoke about moral imagination, how to rebuild philanthropy in a way that works for those it seeks to serve, the iteration process of a social entrepreneur and steps corporate partners need to take to truly engage in rebuilding the institutions that are no longer serving us.
Grateful to begin my day with @ellmcgirt and @FortuneMagazine #fortuneconnect this morning. I always learn so much from these communities of change makers working to make an impact.
Thank you for joining us @Alix_Ines really appreciated your engagement and thoughtful question. twitter.com/Alix_Ines/stat…
Love this. For a starter kit - three lights, a radio, a cellphone charger and flashlight - which changes a family's life, imagine a single panel not much larger than a sheet of writing paper sitting on a rooftop...Solar is changing the world. twitter.com/ErikSolheim/st…
In @Harvard_Law's latest piece, "Connecting the Dots: Breaking the ESG Code" they analyze how investors are actively engaging with companies more on #ESG themes.
Retweeted by Jacqueline Novogratz Shana Tova to all those who celebrate Rosh Hashanah. May the year ahead be full of more people working to create a shared future that puts our humanity and the sustainability of the earth at its center.
RIP to the actor who brought to life one of the greatest characters on the greatest series of the golden era
Retweeted by Jacqueline Novogratz Good post on listening....to make people feel seen, to understand... andresfvera.medium.com/how-to-listen-… @andresfvera
We need more such examples. On this Labor Day, let us all remember and give thanks to those who toil to make the goods and deliver the services that make our lives work.
Im inspired by new models of business–@foreverytable in the US that is giving employees the chance to start franchises;@AzaharCoffee in Colombia that focuses on paying sustainable prices to smallholder farmers;or @labournet in India helping low-skilled workers to start businesses
Dignified work is a cornerstone of a moral framework to build a “new economy” that puts our shared humanity and the sustainability of the earth at the center of our systems.
The opposite of poverty is not wealth. The opposite of poverty is dignity – the ability to make your own decisions, to feel able to contribute.
Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.
—Mary Oliver

Retweeted by Jacqueline Novogratz Thank you @JeffBradach. If you only knew how inspired I am by @kristatippett...I do believe that accompaniment could change the way we deliver services altogether. twitter.com/JeffBradach/st…
I'm definitely watching carbon markets, inc voluntary ones. By tapping into carbon markets, our cookstove investment Burn reduces the prices of a stove from $40 to $5 for poor women. They in turn use half the wood needed previously, save money and time and help conserve forests. twitter.com/CarbonCredits/…
love this and can't wait to see the show. go little brother! twitter.com/novogratz/stat…
The life and writings of Dorothy Day have had an enormous impact on me. And as with my own focus on human dignity, hers was work based on easy solutions but she had the courage to embrace the difficult and to hold the contradictions. nytimes.com/2021/09/05/opi…
a poem by Maya Angelou, sitting on the edge of summer…
Only lovers
see the fall
a signal end to endings
a gruffish gesture alerting
those who will bit be alarmed
that we begin to stop
in order simply
to begin
again.
Retweeted by Jacqueline Novogratz that are some of my favorite memories – a strawberry in my grandmother’s garden, a peach on a cobblestoned street in Istanbul, warm bread from a hole-in-the-wall bakery in a tiny town in Honduras...
