The organizations doing the most important work in the world today are navigating one of the most disruptive periods in the history of civil society. USAID dismantled. Grassroots giving collapsing. AI adopted everywhere, governed nowhere. Boards simply rubber-stamping. And a resilience narrative that mistakes endurance for strategy.

I've spent 35 years inside this sector, as an executive director, a government program builder, a board member, and a consultant to more than 375 organizations across 35 countries. I've watched enough cycles to know when a pattern is legible.

That's why I launched The Social Prophet.

Every month, one structural question. Honest analysis. No vendor pitches. No comfortable stories about resilience. The kind of thinking the sector needs but rarely gets from sources that don't have something to sell.

The inaugural issue is live today. It names five beliefs the social profit sector holds right now that are going to be expensive. Not philosophically wrong. Expensive, in lost staff, lost donors, lost relevance, and lost mission.
