Fund for Shared Insight: Media Analysis

Fund for Shared Insight ("Shared Insight") is a collaborative effort among fundersthat pools financial and other resources to make grants to improve philanthropy. Shared Insight believes philanthropy can have a greater social and environmental impact if foundations and nonprofits listen to the people they seek to help, act on what they hear, and openly share what they learn.Related to feedback loops, Shared Insight's work is focused on increasingthe extent to which foundations listen to others—especially the people they seek to help—and respond to their expressed interests. When Shared Insight talks about "the people they seek to help," they are referring to the individuals who receive programs and services from nonprofit organizations; for example, the students served by charter schools, the recently released prisoners benefiting from job-training services, and the low-income first-time mothers participating in prenatal through birth programs.Over the next three years, Shared Insight would hope to see changes in the amount and kind of discourse in the field related tobeneficiary feedback loops. In the summer of 2015, one year since the launch of the collaborative, ORS Impact repeated a media analysis of relevant blogs, periodicals, and reports. The following memo outlines changes in the amount and kind of discourse in the field around feedback loops compared to the year before Shared Insight launched. We raise a few observations and considerations. More detailed methodological notes follow

Densities and Viscosities of Binary Mixtures of 2‑Ethyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidinium Ionic Liquids with Ethanol and 1‑Propanol

Two guanidinium-based ionic liquids (ILs), 2-ethyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidinium bis­(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)­imide ([TMGEt]­[NTf₂]) and ethyl sulfate ([TMGEt]­[C₂OSO₃]) were synthesized and characterized. Experimental densities and viscosities for the binary mixtures of the ILs with ethanol and 1-propanol from (293.15 to 323.15) K were measured over the whole composition range and at the atmospheric pressure of 0.1 MPa. The excess molar volumes (<i>V</i>_m^E) and the viscosity deviations (Δη) for the binary systems were calculated and fitted with the Redlich–Kister equation. It is found that the density of [TMGEt]­[NTf₂] is much higher than that of [TMGEt]­[C₂OSO₃] at the same temperature, while the viscosity of the former with the value of 74.61 mPa·s is only ¹/₉ of that of the latter at 293.15 K. This indicates that the difference of the anions has a significant influence on the density and viscosity of the ILs with the same guanidinium cation. The addition of ethanol or 1-propanol leads to negative values of <i>V</i>_m^E and Δη, which result from the efficient packing of the constituents in the binary mixtures and the weakening of anion–cation interactions of the ILs. The partial molar volumes, excess partial molar volumes, Gibbs energy, and excess Gibbs energy of activation for viscous flow of the binary mixtures also have been calculated. It is hoped that the results provide useful information for the fundamental physicochemical properties of the guanidinium-based ILs and their further applications
