Just Give ’Em the Money: The Power and Pleasure of Unrestricted Funding (August 3, 2011) | Opinion Blog | Stanford Social Innovation Review: "When I stumbled into philanthropy, seven years out of medical school, I had no idea that there was an accepted set of practices to follow. Through a combination of cluelessness, hubris, and too much time in remote field sites I remained blissfully unaware of the mores and norms of the grant-making world. In my ignorance, I figured that the best thing for the Mulago Foundation to do was to find high-impact organizations focused on the things we cared about most—and give them a bunch of money.
That’s worked out pretty well for us, and unrestricted funding remains a cornerstone of our funding strategy."
