Today, we're joined by a very special guest, Dr. Parthi Elfad, who is the Secretary of the Information Bureau of the Sudanese Communist Party. As we know, in Sudan, has been seeing a revolution over the past two years. The people rose up towards the end of 2018 against the dictator Omar al-Bashir. They managed to overthrow him. Even after overthrowing him, the military junta tried to retain power. The people have been continuously fighting against it. And the Sudanese Communist Party has been in the forefront of these struggles. So today, we are joined by Dr. Parthi, who himself, he was imprisoned during the protests as part of the Sudanese Revolution as well. Thank you so much for joining us. Dr. Parthi, the first question I wanted to ask you was regarding the Sudanese Revolution itself. It's been over two years now. How do you evaluate the progress of these popular movements? What have been the achievements and what are the challenges right now? The main problem as far as the present situation in the Sudan after nearly two years since the beginning of the mass uprising in the country on the 12th of December, 2018, is that since the mass demonstrations and protest actions took place without a central leadership in the sense that at that time, there was only the forces of consensus who made a bold step in calling for mass action against the regime. Other forces especially groups around Sudan appeared, Sudan cold, sorry, were very hesitant at the beginning. Especially the Umma Party, the largest party within the Sudan whole thought that the mass uprising was not as matured and would not lead to nowhere. And they were especially late Sadigal Mahdi was negotiating with the regime towards the end of 2018, beginning of even 2019. However, about the Umma Party supporting the election of President Terbashir in 2020. However, the mass uprising took them by surprise and they tried to join the mass action and they jumped at the last hugot of that mass action. And on the 19th of January, 2019, the Sudan cold people joined hands with the National Consensus Forces and they formed the Freedom and Change Organization and they signed a minimum program which is supposed to be the program for the transitional period. What was clear from the very beginning that differences between the different political forces existed in the sense that some, while they agreed on the minimum program, however, that there were two points which were not very clear at the beginning. Where is what is the direction of the mass movement? Whether it is a movement to remove the regime, to remove the regime, to overthrow the regime, to dismantle the regime and to liquidate the regime, which was mentioned very clearly in the document. Others had their own interpretation to that, especially the Umma Party, the Sudan Congress Party and some of the so-called rebel groups who thought that the main thing is the removal of the ultra-Islamic forces and not the whole regime. And they were ready from the very beginning to accommodate some of these forces within the opposition, which was refused by the SCP and its allies, especially the professional allies. Here comes the main question. From the very beginning, it was established that the forces for freedom and gain would stand on for a complete civil authority, a complete civil power and no sharing power with the military, which some of the other forces were very hesitant about. So the issue of differences, you might call it that way, or treason started from the very beginning, even before the overthrow of the head of the state, or the removal of the head of the state. In the second phase, on the 11th of April 2019, when the security committee of the regime removed over El Bashir, some of these forces thought that this is the end of it for them. While others, like the SCP, were demanding a complete go-forward and that the whole power should fall in the hands of the forces of freedom and gain, or those forces who are ready to take it. However, here was a problem, because even within the, let's say, the radical forces, there was no plan B which stipulates how they can raise power from the military or from the regime, previous regime. Here the main point of contention was how and where and what time the people's authority can be declared. On this matter, because of the absence of a clear-cut plan to range power, the hesitancy started to appear within the ranks of the opposition, and not a single force, including the SCP, was ready at that time to take the step towards forcing the hands of the military to surrender power. And the main thing was through the sit-in by, I think, around hundreds of thousands of people in front of the headquarters of the army, they thought that this is the main weapon through which they can range power from the military. And they were calling men's rule and they are calling for the army to take the side of the demonstrators. However, the main problem here, there was no single force, I mean, or a group of officers within the army who were ready at that time to side with the protesting masses. And the grip of the Security Committee of the previous regime was so strong on the army that the only way out for these forces within the opposition was to negotiate with them about the surrender of power. And here came the interventions from the international community, the United States, the Troika, and they used the African Union, especially the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, to act as mediators between the civilians and the military. Here, the position of the SCP was very clear. Negotiation with the military was only on handing power to the civilians, nothing more, nothing less. And here, there was, at that moment, groups within the freedom and gain forces started to facilitate and to go back on their work and on their commitment about this main demand of full and complete civilian authority or complete civilian power. And I think this is the point where betrayal of the revolution started. Unfortunately, during that time, the pressure on the whole organization of the opposition was so great to the extent that and it was a bit fragmented. So the pressure from outside about a negotiated settlement or a partnership between the civilian and the military had gained certain ground. But what we want to say very clearly, that this pressure would not have resulted in the partnership or this project would not have been accepted unless within the opposition there were forces who were ready to accept such a compromise or such a betrayal. It depends how you look at it. And from that point, we came to discover the SCP, sorry, came to discover that the alliance itself is based on idea of blocks, block. So the, for example, the forces of natural process are represented in the freedom and change coordinating committee as a block. And this block where it has five, it has five representatives, but they act as a block, not as independent political parties within the coordinating committee. And I think and we think, sorry, this is this was one of the mistakes which we accepted at that time, which has led to diminishing the independent role of the Sudanese communist party within the alliance. And so we were forced to accept the beginning, the consensus of the other with the other four who were representing the consensus forces. So this is the second shortcoming at that time. And because of that, what we, the program of the transitional period was never ever even started to be implemented. So, for example, the civilian government was formed, yes, through by certain proposals coming from the forces for change and freedom and change. But the final where was not with the forces of freedom and change. But between at that time, the Prime Minister Hamdok and the sovereignty council or at that time, the transitional military council. So the betrayal, the compromise which appeared at that time, it started to really abort the main demands of the revolution, freedom, peace and justice. And from that time, we find that the forces which were educating the soft landing, which in another way mean that the soft landing that to keep the basis of the previous regime, which adding new social forces to enlarge its basis so that it can continue to defend the interests of the parasitic bourgeois as well as foreign capital. And this is how the revolution was betrayed. However, due to the, let us say, the success achieved by these forces and new situation developed. Instead of going straight to implement the program, the hesitation created the situation of what we call a revolution, I mean a fluid situation whereby there was internal struggle between two forces, one going for the continuation of the revolution, one going for at least if not aborting the whole thing, keeping it at the standstill. And this situation was covered by the long period for negotiation to Paris, draft the two main documents, the political document and the constitutional document, then the establishment of the civilian government, the compromise that led to the military having the two ministers of defense and interior, then that the numbers within the sovereignty council to be 5-5 but with the practice that started since the 11th of April, the military started because they were the main organized force. They mean they since then they started to display their control over the state, the decisions and Al-Burhan head of the military council acted as a real head of state. And from that time I think the deterioration and attempts to stop the revolution achieved certain success. This is how we see it. So the ends of the revolution were practically through the palace coup on the 11th of April, through the intervention of the international community and the regional forces, especially the EU and the prime minister of Ethiopia, who played a real role in convincing the hesitant forces within the opposition, they managed to create a force to succumbing to the implementation of the soft landing. And this is what we are living right now. Right, absolutely. In continuation with what you were just saying right now, over time the Sudanese Communist Party has also withdrawn from the declaration of freedom of change forces as well. It has withdrawn from this coalition. It has also what do you call had very strong differences with some of its other coalition partners in the national consensus forces also. So could you explain the reason why the party decided to withdraw from the freedom and change coalition? Okay, as I have stated earlier that the idea of losing our independence within the so-called organization of block really curtailed the independence position of the party within the alliance, which goes against our main principle that while we are part of an religion or a broad front, we should maintain all the time our independence within the alliance as well as outside the alliance. Because our main slogan is at least to reflect what is going inside the negotiating room to the masses. And this is where a second mistake was committed. So we were pressed by the alliance and it seems at that time the leadership was so keen in maintaining the alliance against, let us say the military, that we succumbed to this pressure in keeping within the alliance and losing the independence of the party. We made a lot of effort on this, our partners, especially within the national consensus forces, about our position, about the importance of really seeking to the idea of civil power and curtailing the influence of the military as well as the interests coming from the regional forces, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, who started playing havoc with the alliance, inviting delegations, bringing delegations in and outside. So we tried as much as we could to maintain the alliance, to keep the alliance intact. But when we discovered that the alliance itself is being manipulated by forces from outside and inside, this is the point we started to act alone. And there was no chance for us to, for example, that we can withdraw from the freedom and change organization without withdrawing from the bloc, to which we are represented. And this is what had happened. And this is why it happened. It happened because we discovered that being inside this alliance, our role is kept second. That this, I mean, there is a certain crystallization of forces which was taking place till October or November last year, that a lot of forces, especially the, we were speaking, for example, of enlarging the forces for freedom and change on a horizontal basis, allowing, for example, the resistance committee, committees to join the alliance. Speaking about the new committees, which were created as the steering committees to establish the trade union organization, to allow workers' organizations inside. Other forces blocked this idea of enlarging the alliance on a horizontal level. On its side, the Ummah party, the Sudan Congress, and even the Arab nationalists agreed together to establish a kind of a vertical leadership which would tie the hands of the parties inside the alliance, rather than give this party more independence and more space to speak and seek for these others. All these issues combined together has led to the party from the two organizations. Absolutely. Right. And in this context, a couple of major developments are going to happen this month. One is the two important pillars of the new system, that is the sovereignty council and the cabinet are going to be reshuffled. And this is after the talks with the various rebel groups that had been taking place over the past few months. So could you maybe talk about what is the kind of shape that this new governing, both the cabinet and the sovereignty council will take. And there have been reports that some of these armed groups are collaborating with the establishment in a much more detailed level. So how do you see this taking shape? Anyway, what is happening now is that, I mean, something which is missing even in the question, because the development has led to the establishment now of what they call the partners council for the transitional period. This council is actually a super power organization. It is above the sovereignty council, above the cabinet and above even if the legislative body is established. This is, in reality, this is the organ of power today, whereby there is the military council that the so-called representatives of the rebel groups and two or three from what remains from the freedom and change organization. So what they are speaking now about forming a government within the force of February or even establishing the legislative body by the 25th of February. I don't think this, first of all, this is a clear violation of the constitutional document which was adopted in the period after the overthrow of the ship. And they are going with, I mean, this new alliance between the military in the sovereignty council, the representative of the so-called revolutionary front of the rebel groups plus three political parties. This is the, the buses, the buses mainly, the Sudan Congress and the National Union. These three parties are the real parties and having this new alliance today which is proposing these new steps to establish a cabinet and so on and so forth. So our position that this is now, they are trying to use the quota principle to distribute offices of the cabinet ministers among themselves to add some people to the sovereignty council, maybe to appoint new governance for the different provinces and so on and so forth away from the main trend within the street because there is a real contradiction existing now in the Sudan between the forces who are seeking a radical change in the country and are mainly represented within the committees, the resistance committees and the trade union, the professional alliance. I mean, these are the forces which are today fighting against these proposals of post of February and so on. So I don't envision because they have their own plan which means they are changing everything which was adopted earlier within the constitutional document and the political document to suit the new alliance and in a sense that means a real betrayal of the revolution. That's why today, for example, we are calling for a change in power that we are fighting to establish a broad front to change the balance of forces first and second, really to establish a government which represents the aspiration of the people. We don't expect the formation of any government or sovereignty council which they will add two or three from the rebel group and they will change some of the civilians and so on. We really expect the policies being implemented in the country.

So I might've missed the show, but I didn't miss the notification. And you can also see us on streaming broadcast as well as listen to us in podcasts. So I have a long drive coming up, Julia, and I'm excited to tune into the nonprofit show and listen to some of those podcasts. So again, we are so excited to have today's guests joining us all the way from New York, Rachel D. Mateo, Director of Your Part-Time Controller.  Thank you. So good to be here with you. Yeah, we're really excited to have you. Your Part-Time Controller, or as we often say, YPTC has been with us from the very beginning and we're really grateful for the partnership. I think a lot of our viewers and listeners have probably seen or heard some of the representatives, the co-workers and colleagues that you work with, but tell us a little bit about your different vertical, if you will. Yeah, so right now I am the Director of our New York office, but also working on launching our foundation's vertical or specialization and YPTC, we've been working with nonprofits for 30 years now. It's our 30th birthday this year. That's right. And we work with all types of nonprofits. And now that we've been growing to a certain size, we're just working on sort of looking at the different specializations within the nonprofit industry to make sure that we have the right training materials in-house, but also that we're talking to the different audiences where they are. And so I'm leading up our foundation's vertical. So it's going to foundations conferences, talking to foundations directly there to build that practice. We're already working with about a hundred foundations now, but there's... You know, it's really cool to know that YPTC is making this investment because of all the things that nonprofits do, and Jared, I know you and I have talked about this, there's such a cloud of mystery surrounding relationships between foundations and nonprofits. And it messes everybody's heads up. And I'm always amazed. I think because Jared and I are in the middle, we hear it from both sides. You know, we hear the nonprofits complaining, we hear the concerns from the foundations, and they're afraid to talk, I think, in some way. So today's conversation is going to be really powerful. And the first thing that we want to ask you is about nonprofits being audit-ready. And this is like one of those demands, it seems like that the pressure's coming down from the foundation, but then the nonprofit moving back up, it's like not in alignment. Talk to us about this. Yeah, so I am excited to talk about sort of the intersection of nonprofits and foundations working together on financial stuff because the financial stuff is what I know. So before diving into the audit readiness, I just want to briefly mention the difference between external reports and internal reports. So most foundations are asking for audits and 990s. The 990s nonprofits have to do that. Exempt organizations have to file a 990. Many nonprofits are doing audits if their state requires it. Every state's a little bit different. I looked up Arizona before this and I see that it's not required for Arizona, but a lot of nonprofits are required by the state to have an audit. And when foundations request that information, they really can have more confidence in that information because it has been reviewed by a third party that's outside of the organization. But some foundations also ask for financial statements for this year to date. And that's really where I want to talk about the audit readiness, is that some nonprofits keep their books on an accrual basis throughout the year, which is really the best practice. And that's really what give the foundation an apples to apples comparison between this year and the audited financials. But some nonprofits might not have the capacity to do that every month. And so what the foundation might be getting from those nonprofits might not be sort of at the same level as what they're seeing in those audited financial statements. So I guess the comments to the foundations in the room might be if you're not using that information, this is kind of like across the board, if you're asking for something because you've always asked for it, think about what you're really asking for and how you really use that information and if you're going to use that information. And if you're not using it, then maybe you take it off the list, consider taking it off the list. But if you are using it, take it with a grain of salt knowing that different nonprofits have different capacity and ask some clarifying questions. I'm not saying add it to your checklist and add it to a budget narrative that has to be submitted, but maybe just pick up the phone and ask questions about are you reconciling your books every month? Are these presented on an accrual basis? Because from those answers, I wouldn't say, don't fund the organization, but you would see maybe there's another way you can be helping this organization grow their capacity and their back office by supporting general operating support to build that back office or maybe even adding some training opportunities. Maybe the finance team from the foundation or another finance expert could help teach the grantees about these best practices or even go in and help the nonprofit. I think that would be so helpful. And I've written many a grants in my lifetime, Rachel, and I feel like there's a little bit of a distance, if you will, when it comes to writing the proposal from the person, excuse me, writing it and then the financial component, you know? And usually I'm the one that says, here, can you help with this? Because that's not my domain, you know? And so having those answers and all of them are a little different. So it's not a, you know, copy and paste. Yeah, and absolutely, I think it's so important for nonprofits to have a good relationship between development and finance so that when you're putting those proposals together, it's a cohesive story that the numbers are telling the same thing as the narrative portions. You know, our conversation with Deanna, right, Julia? When we had Deanna on to talk about how do the development professionals and the accounting professionals best work together to support one another? Yeah, and the answer is a lot of times they don't work together until there's a problem and then there's a lot of finger pointing because everybody's on deadline. You know, you mentioned something, Rachel, that kind of struck a chord and I think this is gonna be a theme throughout, but there's a standardization that everybody's using and now as we are engaging with more portals and in the digital process, our relationships have changed. We don't have those program officers necessarily coming to our place of business, our programs in talking it through and then figuring out specific things. A lot of times these are like postings and you have to respond to it. So talk to us about, I wanna use the word perils, but the concept of using templates, how they work, how they can be manipulated, can they? I mean, what do you see in this space? Yeah, I think there's sort of like two types of ways that foundations request financial information either put it into my format, like I'm the foundation, put it into my format, like the online portals that you're referring to or just give me whatever you have nonprofit and I will work with whatever you give me. And I think coming from the accounting side, I really just caution foundations that it takes time to map the nonprofits accounting records into the categories that are being dictated. In that process, there could be typos and room for error and I think that foundations use these templates so that they can have like apples to apples comparisons, but there's still interpretation between the lines. You're still probably not getting identical interpretations from one organization to the next. But I understand that certain software might be set up in a way that you have to take the information that way. So I guess I would encourage foundations to maybe consider using the categories from the 990, which all the nonprofits are having to put their stuff into those categories anyway. So it's a little bit more of a universal language, so to speak. So when you have that issue and you're like struggling, as Jared said, to get all the stuff done, get this uploaded because money's on the table and you've tried so hard to create a relationship that even puts you through the door further and faster and then you have these problems. It's so intimidating to call that foundation. Like you said, pick up the phone. Talk to us a little bit about that. I mean, is that the right way to deal with it or wait until they call you? I mean, give us some context for battling some of these issues. Yeah, so I think that there is an increasing push in the foundation world to have open conversations with grantees. I mean, foundations are really talking about that a lot, more and more in the last couple of years. And I think some nonprofits are still a little bit nervous to have that conversation, but I think that we have to have this two-way communication. There's an increasing push on the foundation side to have more of a partnership, right? More of a level relationship than like give or and getter kind of relationship. And I think too, the more that you build that relationship and not wait to the final hour to submit the proposal, right? That's really where the magic happens because I've submitted proposals, Rachel, to foundations that say they require audited financials, but the organization didn't have any, right? And so you'll have a conversation and then the foundation person will say, oh, that's okay, we can also accept X, Y, and Z. And it's like, wow, you know, if we hadn't had this conversation, we would have just not applied. Yeah, you would have moved on. You know, Jared, talk to me about, in the discussion that we're having, talk to me about your comfort level as somebody that's been on that other side of the desk. Have you felt comfortable? I mean, I know you, so I would say, yes. Yes, I know. Is this the sort of thing that you would recommend that the grant writer gets engaged with or run it up the flagpole and get the executive director? Like, what's the dynamic of that piece? So it's funny you say that, Julia, because I know that I am a strong leader. We'll use that, right? But still, I just feel that the foundations, when they have this requirement, you abide by that, right? And you really don't disrupt the apple cart. And so I would say, you know, it really depends on who has that relationship. If it's a hired like contract grant writer, maybe they don't have that relationship. So maybe the best person who's been talking with the foundation, be it the CEO, be it the development director, you know, like really who has that best relationship with the foundation. Interesting. Rachel, do you think, are you in accordance with that? That it's kind of relationship driven versus task driven? Like who's responsible for this task? Yeah, I mean, I think that was a great answer from Jared. Again, I'm kind of more focused in on the finance piece. I think it probably would not be an accountant to accountant phone call. So yeah, whoever at the nonprofit really owns that relationship with the foundation. Yeah, and it's tricky, right? Because sometimes we'll feel like these hoops are, you know, they're on flames and they're like spinning and we have to jump through them. And it's just, it's a lot at times. And you're right, Rachel. Like everyone's a little different. And so, you know, it's not, it's just not a copy and paste. But I love having some kind, I love using the 990. You know, if everybody could just get on board for that, I think our world would be better. Yes, just some consistency among all the foundations. Wouldn't that be amazing? That would be amazing. Rachel, when, you know, I know that this is going to be an exciting time for you in YPTC as you move into this big part of where we are in the nonprofit sector in our country. But talk to us a little bit about these grant requirements and to your point, making them a little bit more cohesive, making them work for different, making them work the same for different types of organizations. Is that just a fantasy or do you see that foundations are understanding this and are trying to move in that direction? Or what's your take on this? I think there is a movement happening in philanthropy. It might be quicker for some foundations than others. But I am hearing a lot of funders saying, like we looked at our requirements to say, why do we ask for each one of these things? And let's take some off the list that we got them, we put them in a file and they really weren't being utilized to make our decisions. So what information do we actually need to make this decision? I think in the height of COVID, trust-based philanthropy really showed up, really percolated to the top. And I love seeing that because foundations, grand tours, family, so many entities that were giving money, they would say, we know that we restricted it towards X, Y, and Z. But use them however you wish. And having that trust in the relationship and having that trust-based philanthropy, I'm so excited to see where that's going to take our sector. So do you think that it's going to keep going forward? Or do you think, and I'll ask this question to both of you ladies, do you think that people are going to revert back? Because, Rachel, you said something really magical at the very beginning, and we've always done it this way, and that's what we do. And instead of stopping and saying, OK, why do we do this? What's the implication? What is your sense of this? You go first, Rachel. Yeah, I mean, I do think things are changing. Like, I was just at a conference with some foundations a few weeks ago, and I was eating lunch next to someone, and they told me the name of the foundation. And I remember, like, sometimes people in my office send me award letters and say, this is crazy. How do we account for this revenue? And I remember the foundation saying, because I had seen several of these letters, just all these milestones that had to be met to get the funding. And I said to the program officer, like, oh, yeah, I remember reading your award letters. They had all these milestones. And she said, that must have been like four or five years ago because we've changed. Our founders were from tech, and they really had this mindset in the beginning that we had to have all these milestones because that's the world that they came from. But now we do general operating support grants. I love that story. I do. I think it's changing. I think when it comes to relationships that I think a lot of red tape is going away, let's look at, overall, the admin cost. Like, that whole admin cost conversation, it still exists. But I feel like there's enough of us pushing against it to say, it's not about the overhead cost. It's about the impact. And let's keep talking about the impact. And I think more and more and more people, foundations, as well as individual donors, are starting to get that, as well as capacity. There's only so much time. And as Rachel mentioned, there's teams of one. And I'm talking like an entire nonprofit, a team of one. There's development departments, teams of one. Not to mention so much turnover and just burnout, compassion fatigue, everything that's happening. I think it's time to turn the dime and say, how can we do this differently? So we don't have that much more time left. But, Jared, I'm going to ask you this question. And then I'm going to ask Rachel what she's saying. But it seems to me very early in the days when I first met you, you mentioned to me, and you have verified this over the course of time, that an organization really should not plan or spend time on getting revenue from a foundation in terms of more than 30% because it's too perilous, it's too difficult, all these different reasons. Are you still seeing that? And again, both of you ladies, give us your feedback on what that looks like. Because we keep hearing about the amount of wealth that's being moved into these foundations and these vehicles. So should we and the nonprofit sector adjust our percentages up? So I'll answer, but Rachel, I'm really excited to hear what you have to say. I've seen a mixture of everything. I still do coach no more than 30%, but the reality is with all of the CARES Act and ARPA funding, there is so much money out there for a certain sector of nonprofits that the scale has been tipped, right? So many organizations that I've worked with have moved the needle increase their operating budget by five, six, $8 million over the last three years. And now trying to figure out what is reality now, and how might we scale back? And so I see grants as one and contracts as another, contracts meaning it's a reimbursement opportunity. And so I don't really see that as a grant, but it often gets lumped in that category, if you will. But Rachel, what are you seeing? Yeah, I guess from my standpoint, and I don't know that I've ever thought about the effort that goes in as a percentage like that, but I guess from what I'm seeing in the foundation world that right sizing your grant requirements is a term that I hear people use with the idea being, if it's like a $5,000 grant, the application process should be much simpler than a $500,000 grant. Please. I love that you brought that up. I really appreciate that. That goes back to the systems approach. If you're like, well, that's just the way we do it, no matter the amount of money. Wow, okay, yeah, thank you for bringing that up. You know, the other thing I'm seeing, and I think it's worth mentioning, is there's a lot of foundations that offer reviewers as part of the review committee. And lately, you know, I've been giving the privilege to sit on these and they say to me, if there's a way we can do it better, please let us know. And it's like, oh my gosh, hallelujah. Well, thank you for asking. Here's my list, right? And I really think that's a great opportunity. That's amazing that they're asking for feedback, yes. Are you seeing that, Rachel, or are you seeing your foundation customers asking that of you as a professional? I mean, are you seeing it as being market-driven or more, you know, service-driven? Yeah, I guess they ask us a little from just the finance piece of it, you know, the finance side about kind of what goes into, what goes into the application from the finance side. Yeah. There's this fun, I don't know. It's kind of like, I don't know if this is true or what, but I've seen it on one of my forums that I'm a member of. Rachel and I loved it. And one grantor, their application says, submit to us the last grant you submitted. And it was like, really? It's that easy? Is that even possible? I know. Can you imagine, Julia? Because I can't. Because Rachel's right. Like there's some of these grants that are 5,000, even 1,000, 1,500 depending on the organization's size, you know, and they're asking for your DNA. And it's like, forget it. This is way too much work. Well, you know, it's interesting, Rachel, because you pointed out so early on, and when I first met you, there's such a disparity between what the foundations are doing and what they believe is the right course. And then you have the nonprofits over here, and they're kind of just like, they're kissing cousins, if you will. They're not quite ready to get in alignment. And yet, ultimately, we're all working towards the same things, but there's just this stress, you know? Stress, yeah. It's really, really hard. Yeah, and I do think that things are changing. Like I said, maybe slower for some than others. I think foundations do want to be better partners to the nonprofits. I think a lot of nonprofits are still scared because of, I guess, how things have been historically, but you know, for example, if I as a nonprofit am having a deficit, you know, I might be afraid to talk to my funder about that, but the funder might be the best person to talk to about it. He might be able to help. Yeah, it's really true. And, you know, gosh, it goes back to what you started off with us today. And that is that piece of the pie, which is communication. And if we don't have that confidence or that relationship, man, it just doesn't work for anybody because ultimately the founder wants to have a successful, you know, outcome. So, you know, they want to see success. They want to see impact. Yeah, so their job is to give money, you know, like that was their job and they want to give it. Yeah, and they want it to be, they want that investment to be successful. And so it's really been interesting, Rachel, to talk to you. And I think you've got a really exciting job ahead of you and we're going to really be interested in taking this journey with you and being able to be a voice of communication between these two pieces because it's apparent that this can really help our sector. And if we don't know how to work with foundations and then we don't know how to go about this journey, then everyone loses, including the foundations, right?  Check out yptc.com. There's so much free information and connectivity to good ideas and some amazing thought leadership on the finance side of our sector. And 30 years of anything is a lot. Congratulations YPTC on their birthday. That's amazing. Yeah, really cool, really, really exciting. Hey, everybody, we, as Jared mentioned, I'm Julia Patrick, Jared Ransom, non-profit nerd. We just surpassed our 800th episode. And so I tell the story often, but Eric Frank was one of our very first people that we had. We had a new studio, we invited him in and I remember really quickly, he was crazy tall and we had to adjust all of our cameras. Do you remember that?  We were trying to figure out how to get him, he and you in the frame and it just came to me, but YPTC has really been an amazing partner of ours as has Bloomerang, American Non-profit Academy, Non-profit Thought Leader, Fundraising Academy at National University, Staff and Boutique, Non-profit Nerd and Non-profit Tech Tuck. Say that three times. But anyway, your part-time controller, always a pleasure to have you and all your team members join us. Thank you, Rachel. Thank you for having me. It's been a lot of fun. Hey everybody, as we end every episode of the Non-profit Show, we want to remind ourselves or viewers or listeners or guests to stay well so you can do well. We'll see you back here tomorrow. Thank you, ladies so much.


Michael Myers bullshit! He's all wearing that robe. It's way too short. It's all like his wife's robe. It's super tight.  He could have just pulled the sign out of the ground. He didn't need to take his hatchet to it.


The number of novel recombinant protein therapeutics approved by the FDA from 2006 to 2011 increased significantly, leading to a surge in demand for production cell lines with high productivity. Mammalian cell line development technologies currently used by most biopharmaceutical companies are based on either the Methatrexate, MTX amplification technology or the glutamine synthetase, GS system. These technologies produce highly heterogeneous cell clones due to random integration of the gene of interest and amplification of the gene. This results in a long and laborious process of screening many cell clones to find rare stable high producers. To address this issue, advancements in protein expression and clone screening technologies are needed to increase the speed and efficiency of generating robust and highly productive cell lines.

North America is generally not known for its metro systems. They're often not that big, not in very good shape, and a lot of times both, or also just called subways. But despite this, there are some truly epic metros, with stunning designs and incredible scale, and one of those is the Washington Metro in Washington, DC. While crashes, operational issues, and the double whammy of COVID and major rolling stock problems have seriously hurt ridership, which was around 750,000 today in the late 2010s, I still think the capital's metro system has a bright future. Not only does the system benefit from being in one of the fastest growing regions in the United States, but it also has good intercity rail links to a number of other cities with comparatively good transit, unlike a lot of other North American cities. At the same time, Metro was both a young system, opening less than 50 years ago, and one with very impressive infrastructure, with over 200 kilometers of track, nearly 100 fully accessible stations, as well as three city center tunnels. In the future, with reformed operations and fixes to some of the system's issues, it could probably move several million people per day with its current tunnels and stations. Washington, DC has super interesting political and physical geography. The city region lies across two states, Maryland and Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia itself, which is covered really well in this half as interesting video. DC itself is located at the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia rivers, around 300 kilometers or 200 miles southwest of New York City, and roughly 50 kilometers or 30 miles west of Chesapeake Bay. Within the central city are all kinds of famous political sites, like the Capitol and the White House. You've also got the National Mall, the Supreme Court, the Smithsonian, and far, far more. There are also major sites which are not right in the city center, reinforcing DC's status as one of the most polycentric cities in North America. Arlington and Alexandria and Virginia are major nodes with massive transit oriented development, and the same is true of Silver Spring and Bethesda in Maryland. There's also the famous Pentagon, and further out along a freeway interchange is the famous Tyson's Corner, an edge city you'll probably be familiar with if you've ever spent much time studying urban geography. Getting people into and around the U.S. Capitol are a number of major transportation hubs, including Washington Union Station, the southern end of the Amtrak Northeast Corridor that features electrified intercity rail servers to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. Union Station also has tunnels under it that could someday enable a modern long distance through running regional rail system. Connecting Washington to cities further afield are its two major airports, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport just across the Potomac from Central Washington and Dulles, which is about 37 kilometers or 22 miles west of the city center. Reagan mainly serves shorter-haul flights, while Long Hall and international flights go to Dulles. Diving underground into Metro, one of the most iconic parts of the system is the grand, brutalist architecture of the stations, which makes them some of my favorite in the world, and no doubt influenced by systems like the Montreal Metro, which opened about a decade earlier. These are enhanced by the intricate lighting design of center track uplighters, as well as unique lights at the platform edges, which blink as a train is approaching. These were actually originally also included in the Taipei Metro. The signage and wayfinding on the system are quite bold and were designed by Massimo Vignelli, who is also famous for his significant work done for the New York City subway. The technology of the system was also incredibly modern at the time it opened, with an ATC signaling system enabling automatic train operation, a monitored form of automated driving, although it was unfortunately disabled into 2000s after a crash, which turned out to be unrelated. This has hurt system performance, think speed, frequency, and smoothness ever since. The trains the system is built for are part of why I say the system has such good bones. The network supports trains up to eight cars long, and each roughly three by 23 meters, about as large a subway car as you can get. The total floor area of the trains is basically identical to those used on the Elizabeth line, and a full eight car train is nearly 200 meters long, with three doors per car, just as with the line in London. As you'd probably expect, the trains run on standard gauge tracks and get power from a 750 volt DC third rail. They also have a very recognizable hexagonal front profile, which sort of reminds me of BART, and much like BART, the system operates at higher than typical metro speeds of up to around 100 kilometers per hour, versus the typical 80, and originally had trains with a very commuter oriented seating layout. Much like the New York City Subway's latest cars, the Problem Plague 7000 series metro trains are manufactured by Kawasaki and feature similar useful digital wayfinding. Looking at the system itself, one of the most impressive aspects is that as I mentioned earlier, it has three city center tunnels that allow the lines from the suburbs to converge on the core of DC. One tunnel travels east through the center from Farragut North, south across under G Street, to Judiciary Square, and back north to Union Station. Another travels east west from Foggy Bottom, George Washington University, to MacPherson Square, then south to the National Mall, and across east to Lawn Fawn Plaza and Capitol Hill. And the last, which travels entirely north-south, from Lawn Fawn Plaza through downtown at Gallery Place to neighborhoods like Shaw, U Street, Columbia Heights, and Petworth. Through the first tunnel runs the Red Line, which starts on both ends in Montgomery County, Maryland, and travels south through Bethesda in the west and Silver Spring in the east to Central Washington DC, passing north beyond the Capitol Beltway Ring Road on both sides. A large portion of the Red Line runs on the surface, including next to Mainline Rail at the northwest extent of the line and from Union Station to Silver Spring, while other portions, including downtown and the northeast portion of the line are underground. The northeast being very deep underground. Wheaton Station actually has the longest escalators in the Western Hemisphere. Interestingly, Noma Gallaudet U Station was added as an infill station in the 2000s, and has an incredible amount of DoD around it, which is a pattern we're going to be returning to. Next comes the Yellow Line, which starts at its southern end in Virginia, passing north through west-central Alexandria and then along the Potomac, before diverting through Ronald Reagan Airport, diverting west to Crystal and Pentagon City and the Pentagon itself, before the line crosses the Potomac on a bridge and then dives underground in Central Washington. From here, the line runs along the north-south-downtown tunnel, connecting to the red line at Gallery Place Chinatown. The Yellow Line then continues north, diverging west to serve Columbia Heights, before diverging back east to connect to the red line at Fort Totten. Rather uniquely, like white flint on the red line, Fort Totten's green and yellow line platforms are mostly above ground, with tunnels on both sides, which is a design I've always found kind of charming. Beyond here, the Yellow Line continues northeast into Maryland, terminating at Greenbelt near the Capitol Beltway. The Green Line, or more accurately service, runs from the northern end of the Yellow Line all the way south to Lawn Fawn Plaza, where it splits from the Yellow Line to the east, traveling through the fast-growing Navy Yard area before passing under the Anacostia River. From here, the line continues southeast on an increasingly above-ground alignment into Maryland where it terminates. The Blue Line starts just east of the Capitol Beltway in Largo, before continuing west above and below ground in a sea of single-family homes, before coming above-ground to cross the Anacostia River on a bridge. Here, the line dives underground and follows the angular-planned roads of southeastern DC to the eastern edge of the final downtown tunnel, which it passes through, connecting to the yellow and green lines at Lawn Fawn Plaza and the red line at Metro Center, and then beyond, under the Potomac River to Rosslyn. From Rosslyn, the Blue Line turns southeast and runs along the Potomac past Arlington National Cemetery and to the Pentagon. The Blue Line then runs alongside the Yellow Line all the way to Western Alexandria, before diverting from it and traveling west alongside Main Line Rail and the Capitol Beltway through mostly big box and industrial-feeling areas. The line ends at Franconia Springfield after diving under the Capitol Beltway. As with the eastern end of the Blue Line, the Orange Line starts right near the Capitol Beltway, but within it. The last station on the line, New Carrollton, is actually a station on the northeast corridor, which the Orange Line travels along above ground, away from any dense development until Chevrolet Station, where the line diverts to the southwest, still above ground alongside non-electrified Main Line tracks until it reaches the Blue Line. The Orange Line travels with the Blue Line into Rosslyn, where it diverges to the west to travel through Central Arlington. Beyond Arlington, the Orange Line pops back above ground to run along a highway in the median. Coming up to the Delos Access Road, the Orange Line continues west along the previous highway alignment all the way to Vienna, but not that Vienna, where it terminates. The last line in the network, and the most recently extended, just in the last month that the publishing of this video is the Silver Line. The Silver Line runs along the Blue Line to Rosslyn and with the Orange Line to its west, before diverging north of the Delos Access Road. The line diverts back out of the Delos Access Road near Tysons to run elevated through the area, crossing the Beltway before diving back underground, surfacing at Greensboro Station and then continuing elevated to Spring Hill Station and then back into the median of the Delos Access Road, which always had space in it set aside for future rail. The section after Spring Hill is extremely weird, as the Silver Line travels nearly 10 kilometers or 6 miles between stations, extremely unusual for our Metro and possibly a record, if you think you have a longer example, leave it in the comments. This is basically through an area of forest and large lot single-family homes before the line arrives in Reston, where trains terminated up until recently. With the new extension, trains continue through Reston to Herndon and beyond onto the Delos Lands, where the line goes elevated and serves the station with a grand canopy reminiscent of the main terminal building. The line doesn't stop here, though. It turns, still elevated, and heads north, popping back into the median of the Delos Greenway and extending several more kilometers northwest to Ashburn. This puts the terminus of the Silver Line over 40 kilometers from central DC as the crow flies. Stepping back, what you can probably see now is that the DC Metro is a bit of a mess of interlining. Only the red line is fully independent and the interlining can create a lot of issues, as trains on all other lines interact with one another thanks to the interconnection between the yellow and blue lines. Despite these issues, there are a lot of learnings other systems, even outside of North America, can take from the DC Metro. For one, the system quite seamlessly crosses the entire region and three different jurisdictions as a unified system, and at the same time I was recently discussing with someone the governance, which has been surprisingly stable despite the rarious stakeholders involved in the system. I mentioned DC's polycentric nature earlier in the video, and for a North American Metro system, DC Metro really is very well connected outside of the core of the city, thanks to connections between the red, green, and yellow lines at Fort Totten and the interlining of the yellow and blue lines. The three city center alignments crossing at three distinct points, a triangle transfer, also helps spread transfer volume and coverage of the core of the urban area. That all being said, the many services operated on the network mean that despite the dense and well connected central area, the system still has 10 distinct termini, which generally spread out in every direction providing very good coverage. The system service is also not all that bad, given its extent, with most lines running every 10 minutes or better most of the time, meaning frequencies in the interlined sections of the network are quite a bit better if trains are properly spaced out. All of this service, long trains and trackage, does mean that metro has an almost shocking amount of different yards, with large yards near most of the termini. And while the Washington metro was never constructed all that affordably, including the shockingly expensive silver line that cost as much by itself as some small metro network, it certainly should be noted that the network does not feel excessively tunneled, with substantial portions of it operating on elevated guideways and at grade in other right-of-ways and suburban areas. Now, if you're familiar with population and economic geography in the US, you'll know that the Washington DC region has been booming for years. It's now larger than Philly and Atlanta, and along with that growth comes growth in the metro system, the silver line extension just being part of that. Washington DC is covered in transit-oriented mixed-use communities, and one such community, Potomac Yard, which will play host to part of Amazon's HQ2 campus, is getting a new station to service it, built alongside the original blue and yellow line rail alignment. A much larger project which is under construction and will only serve to increase the polycentrism of the DC region is the Maryland purple line, which is, as it sounds, in Maryland, and will connect four different metro branches, running east from Bethesda on the western leg of the red line, to Silver Spring on the eastern leg, and then south and east to College Park University of Maryland on the green and yellow lines, and then further south to terminate at New Carrollton on the orange line. This project has had a lot of major issues, but should be really useful once it's eventually done. That being said, as with many other projects, I think the use of light rail, even a moderately fast and low floor one, is a bit questionable, as high speeds and frequencies will be critical to the success of this line. Further off in the future, Metro is also looking at how to build more capacity through the city center, and especially across the Potomac from Rosslyn, since the triple interlining of the blue orange and silver lines limits their frequency and demand is high. A lot of different options, including a very odd looping alignment for the blue line, have been considered, though I'm quite skeptical that any of them is really the optimal use of a new tunnel, and they all seem designed to cost as much as possible while not maximizing the service and use of the existing network. An idea I sort of like is building a new station where the orange line merges with the silver and blue lines in the east, and then creating a new separate corridor west that would separate the current orange line branch and the western parts of the orange and silver lines from the blue line, through the downtown hitting some preferred nodes. I prefered this line to Metro's proposals because it allows the existing orange line branch to the east to receive more service, useful for the large amount of development starting to happen there, instead of the really odd proposed ideas including constructing another entirely new suburban alignment which would only lead to a bigger differential in core versus suburban service. It would also mean a faster cross-city trip for the orange and silver lines, and better overall connectivity, and probably lower costs. Since any new rail line will be very expensive, a new terminating platform at Roslin sorting out the signaling system to enable higher frequencies and getting some higher capacity trains that are fully walkthrough and have more doors would all make a lot of sense in the meantime. I mentioned before but the stations on Metro are architecturally impressive. Metro center in particular is a masterpiece and that's also true of a lot of the suburban stations, many of which are above ground, but unfortunately this is where the system really stumbles. Stations like Largo Town center, College Park, Huntington, Franconia, Springfield, Vienna, Ashburn, and even Wheaton with a decent amount of development surrounding it have parkades. Parkades are not a ridership strategy for mass transit because at most one parkade, if fully used, will fill two or three trains. Metro has even built parkades on the most recent extension of the silver line, but it really should be implementing frequent, i.e. every 10 minutes or better, all day, i.e. 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. a region-wide bus service, which just does not currently exist. Some limited parking to allow truly rural residents with no access to buses to get to the system is fine. Giant parkades are not fine. What's even worse though is that stations like Greenbelt and Branch Avenue use up the most valuable land directly adjacent to them with giant surface parking lots and they have bus facilities that make very little sense. Instead of having nice integrated terminals like in the city such as Toronto, these stations have sprawling bus loops with little protection from the hot or cold and very long walks as a feature of them. Lands such as this should be redeveloped into something more useful as soon as possible. Oddly, at the same time, many suburban stations also feel very architecturally indulgent with large dramatic canopies that don't cover half the platform, whereas a less exorbitant and more reasonable design could have provided shade and cover from the rain for the whole platform. What I will say is that a trip around Metro shows you the strong case for regional rail in the DC region. Many metro stations like Silver Spring, Lawn Fawn Plaza, and even Fort Totten, not to mention Union Station, could become hubs for a frequent subway like regional rail service replacing what is today the three mark lines to the north and the two VRE lines to the south. Such a service would complement Metro for even longer distance journeys, allowing it to focus more on capacity and more on local trips, and a lot of the infrastructure, short of the enhanced and better connected stations, is already there, including the hardest part to build the city center tunnel. Indeed, after Toronto, DC is probably one of the most natural places in North America to implement modern regional rail. Unfortunately though, things are trending in the opposite direction, with crazy moves such as Mark getting rid of their electric locomotive used on the penline that shares tracks with the northeast corridor to instead use diesels underwire. Nonetheless, even without mainline rail, Metro is an impressive system, from its great architecture to its huge trains, and in doing research and traveling around the system online, I was just excited to imagine the bright future this system could have ahead of it. A special thanks to Iman, Errol, John, Mark and Sam for their on-the-ground insights and footage from Washington, DC used in this video.
