(Was a noted supporter of the CF fast forward fund)

The Fund for the City of New York was established by the Ford Foundation in 1968 with the mandate to improve the quality of life for all New Yorkers. For over three decades, in partnership with government agencies, nonprofit institutions and foundations, the Fund has developed and helped to implement innovations in policy, programs, practices and technology in order to advance the functioning of government and nonprofit organizations in New York City and beyond.

The Fund seeks out, adapts, applies and assesses ways to enable government and nonprofit agencies to achieve excellence through its core programs—the Cash Flow Loan Program, the Incubator/Partner Project Program, Technology Consulting, the Sloan Public Service Awards, and the Sloan Awards for Excellence in Teaching Science and Mathematics—and through three strategic initiatives: the Center on Government Performance, the Center for Internet Innovation and E-Community Connect.

Ashoka: Innovators For The Public

(Was a noted supporter of the CF fast forward fund)

Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashoka_(non-profit_organization)

Purpose: To shape a global, entrepreneurial, competitive citizen sector: one that allows social entrepreneurs to thrive and enables the world's citizens to think and act as changemakers.

Revenue: (2016) $19,943,688

Fellows (volunteers)

Ashoka identifies leading social entrepreneurs with solutions to social problems who seek to make large-scale changes to society. Ashoka searches for individuals who have vision, creativity, and determination and are motivated by public gain rather than personal gain.

Social entrepreneurs who pass the selection process are called Ashoka fellows. Each Ashoka fellow receives a financial stipend that the fellow can use to pay for their personal expenses so the fellow can fully devote the fellow's time in pursuit of the fellow's innovative social ideas. The size of the stipend is decided on a case by case basis, according to the cost of living in the entrepreneur's local area. The stipend is available for up to three years. The organization is very clear that the stipend is only for living expenses and not for funding the social entrepreneur's initiative or organization.

Since the date is 2009-2012 was hard to find articles pertaining to fff as the term "fast forward" is very common

saw in another bread the empty shelf pic was from an article on Spain. In the US, read comments on US stores with empty shelves due to the corona rush. One person recognized the signage and stated the Target store was likely moving inventory to different aisles (like seasonal or clearance). Another person shared a pic of the tv filming crew and all the merchandise was stacked behind the camera so the shelves were empty.

Think people are stocking up on TP because if they are quarantined and run out of food, they can make a pot of TP soup which has lots of fiber.

looked at their website and like all the others associated, a lot of fancy sappy statements but what does the person the do and how do they make a change. None of the websites specify those things.

Organizations that actually help people and teach might say things like

we provide one on one tutoring

we use these education resources or group setting

we offer extracuricular activities or sports x, y, z

But these organizations provide no details how they "invest" philanthropic donations or that they likely recieve some form of government grants. All sound like brainwashing cults.
