Thomas Stehle. Why Haven’t Foundations Responded to the Newtown Shootings? Guest Post by Vince Stehle. As a nation, we have seen mass shootings many times over the years.

Whether you're on vacation, making cookies with nephews, grinding out some work through the end of the year, or sitting in your kitchen drinking tea and watching the fog roll off the redwoods, it's probably a low week for blog-reading.
