As if this election wasn’t toxic enough, it’s now making Americans sick. At least two-thirds of Americans are anxious about the presidential race — up seven percentage points in four months. We are so worried about politics that we’re experiencing everything from weight loss and poor sleep to family tensions and depression. Polarization has gotten so out of hand that even families and friends are pitted against each other. Children are estranged from their parents over voting differences.

Evan Feinberg is executive director of Stand Together Foundation. The problems we face in the social sector often feel insurmountable. The list of systemic issues is too long, and the list of solutions is too short. This is why we need innovation.

Nearly 40% of high school students − and half of high school girls − say their mental health has struggled in recent years.

Evan Feinberg is executive director of Stand Together Foundation. A few days ago, I heard an inspiring story with lessons for the entire social sector. The head of one of the leading nonprofits in the country told me about a chance encounter one of her team members had in the New York City subway.

Nov. 1 marked the start of the “giving season.” Through the end of the year, millions of Americans will donate to charities, with gifts both large and small. All told, they’ll give billions of dollars to help the less fortunate. Last year alone, Americans donated $500 billion to worthy causes, much of it during November and December. But there’s a problem. Although it’s easy to find organizations in need of funding, it can be hard to determine which organizations are most effective.
