Heading

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Evaluation Philosophy

The worst-kept secret in the social sector is that the way most people evaluate nonprofit success is totally backwards and wrong. It’s nearly impossible for impact-minded funders to discover investment-worthy programs in the cause areas and regions they care about most. A fixation on overhead clouds an already confusing marketplace, and so much of the conversation devolves quickly into finger pointing rather than leading with curiosity, common sense, sensitivity to nuance, and big-picture thinking.
