Lawmakers designed the policy to allow space for strategic flexibility, but 5 percent payout settled as a norm. Over time, that norm has hardened into a mental block that has capped ambition and constrained impact.

By Michelle Morales In a moment of dramatic threat to our work and our communities, giving must be driven by the needs of the moment—not by the performance of our assets. If we in the philanthropic sector are committed to giving our partners the support they need, we cannot cleave to a traditional 5 percent payout.
