SC Ministry Foundation and GCF announce collaboration to sustain and strengthen legacy of grantmaking
CINCINNATI, OH (October 1, 2026) -- SC Ministry Foundation and Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF) have entered into a collaborative agreement designed to ensure the long-term strength, sustainability, and impact of one of the region's most respected grantmaking organizations. Beginning with the 2027 grant cycle, GCF will administer SC Ministry Foundation's grantmaking process while the Sisters of Charityof Cincinnati continue to guide funding priorities, criteria and mission.
For three decades, SC Ministry Foundation has been a powerful presence for good throughout Greater Cincinnati and beyond. With roots tracing back to 1979, SC Ministry Foundation was transferred to the Sisters of Charity congregation in 1995 and was renamed SC Ministry Foundation in 1998. Since then, it has awarded more than $165 million in grants to organizations working to build stronger communities and improve the lives of those most in need.
The collaboration with GCF follows several years of thoughtful discernment by SC Ministry Foundation's Board and the Sisters of Charity Leadership Council as they explored how best to preserve and strengthen SC Ministry Foundation's mission for future generations.
"This decision reflects our deep commitment to ensuring that the mission entrusted to us continues to thrive well into the future," said S. Monica Gundler, president of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. "For generations, we have been called to respond to the needs of our time with compassion, justice and care. Through this collaboration with GCF, we are confident that the values and priorities that have guided our grantmaking will continue to shape meaningful investments in communities for many years to come."
GCF will provide comprehensive grant administration services, including management of the application process, proposal review, grant distribution, reporting and nonprofit support. Funding priorities, grant guidelines and decision-making will remain rooted in the mission of the Sisters of Charity and Catholic Social Teaching.
The collaboration builds upon an established relationship between the two organizations and a shared commitment to strengthening communities through philanthropy.
"We are honored by the trust SC Ministry Foundation has placed in Greater Cincinnati Foundation," said Matthew Randazzo, president and CEO of GCF. "The Sisters of Charity have created an extraordinary legacy of service and generosity through their grantmaking, and our role is not to change that legacy, but to help steward it. We are committed to faithfully carrying out the Sisters' wishes, preserving the integrity of their mission, and ensuring that this important work continues to benefit communities for generations to come."
SC Ministry Foundation's funding priorities will remain consistent, focused on initiatives that advance the Sisters' long-standing commitment to education, health care, social justice, environmental stewardship, and the promotion of human dignity. Together, SC Ministry Foundation and GCF will work to ensure that the Sisters of Charity's commitment to compassion, justice and service continues to make a meaningful difference across the region and beyond for years to come.

Governor Spanberger's Energy Plan Highlights Need to Rein in Data Centers

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger on Thursday released a comprehensive energy policy roadmap that features options prioritizing transitions to cleaner energy-while forecasting data centers will likely eat up a massive chunk of the Commonwealth's energy needs and capacity in the coming years.
The proposal thankfully includes positive priorities like establishing a state-based renewable energy marketplace and prioritizingpublic health when building out our energy infrastructure-but also lays bare the sobering fact that data centers and their energy use must be reined in if Virginia hopes to have a sustainable energy future.
Projections forecast that the power needed to accommodate anticipated data center growth would eclipse residential use in Virginia in the coming years.
Data centers are harming Virginians and our communities. They're threatening the state's water supply and helping send power bills ever higher. Even the companies behind them are pumping the brakes on associated technologies over safety concerns.
The transition to clean energy is important for the health of Virginia's rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. About a third of the nitrogen pollution that ends up in the Bay starts as air pollution from power plants and other sources.
Data centers are making the clean energy transition harder by straining the grid and stretching thin Virginia's already limited energy supplies. There is no realistic clean, sustainable energy future for Virginia without strong guardrails for data centers to ensure they're transparent throughout their lifecycles, offset their water use, and fuel their operations with clean energy.
Chesapeake Bay Foundation Virginia Policy Manager Jay Ford issued the following statement:
"Governor Spanberger and her team should be commended for laying out an energy roadmap that promotes public health and Virginia's transition to clean energy. This plan prioritizes the health and economic well-being of Virginians and represents a model for how state energy planning should be done.
"However, this plan also makes clear that unchecked data center growth is swiftly pushing Virginia toward an unsustainable set of choices for our energy future. All scenarios in the proposal involve significant reliance on fossil fuels to meet ever-skyrocketing anticipated power demands for data centers.
"Virginians should not have to sacrifice their health and well-being to make the wealthiest companies in human history even more profitable.
"This plan makes clear that lawmakers need to build on the governor's strong Data Center Accountability Framework and act aggressively in the coming 2027 legislative session to rein in these out-of-control energy and water guzzlers."

Mo. district sets positive example in resolving football prayer complaint
The Freedom From Religion Foundation is commending a Missouri school district for its exemplary response to an FFRF letter about a school-sponsored prayer broadcast at a recent football game.
FFRF contacted the Nevada R-V School District in Missouri after learning that the school allowed the student body president to deliver a Christian prayer over the loudspeaker before a varsity football gameon Sept. 11. The employee who informed the state/church watchdog about the unconstitutional broadcast said the prayer made them uncomfortable and expressed particular concern for students who may not feel empowered to speak up when religion is promoted at a school event.
The complainant, who is not Christian, stressed that their concern was not with students praying privately or expressing their own religious beliefs. "When a microphone is handed over to force an entire stadium into prayer, that is where things become blurred," the employee told FFRF.
FFRF stepped up to clarify the district's responsibility to keep school events free from religious influence.
"School officials may not invite a student, clergy member, teacher, faculty member or anyone else to give any type of prayer, invocation, benediction or sermon at public school-sponsored events, nor may they give a prayer themselves," FFRF Staff Attorney Sammi Lawrence wrote to District Superintendent Tyson Beshore.
Here, the district had allowed the student body president to lead all attendees, including students, in a Christian prayer over a microphone before the football game. By having school-sponsored prayer at official school events, the district needlessly marginalized non-Christian students, including atheists, agnostics and members of minority faiths. As much as 38 percent of the American population is non-Christian, including the almost 30 percent that is nonreligious. More than half of Generation Z members (those born after 1996) are non-Christian, including 43 percent who are nonreligious.
The district's response was swift and unequivocal.
Beshore apologized for the incident and explained that the senior class president had been invited to speak but that administrators had not reviewed the student's remarks beforehand.
More importantly, the district immediately put safeguards in place to prevent a recurrence. Going forward, students will not be permitted to address school audiences over a microphone without administrators first reviewing their planned remarks, and an administrator will be present when students speak.
Beshore emphasized that in his 29 years with the district, he had never encountered another incident like this. "I can promise you it will never happen again," he wrote.
FFRF applauds the district and Beshore for taking the complaint seriously, acknowledging what went wrong and adopting a concrete solution to protect students. The Supreme Court formally ruled student-led prayer or other prayer broadcast at school events, including football games, unconstitutional 26 years ago.
"This is exactly how school officials should respond when a constitutional concern is brought to their attention," says FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor. "The district listened, recognized the problem and immediately took steps to protect every student going forward. We greatly appreciate Superintendent Beshore's forthright and constructive response."
For the employee who contacted FFRF, the resolution means that future students attending Nevada R-V athletic events will not have to choose between participating in a school-facilitated religious exercise and visibly separating themselves from their classmates and community.
That distinction is especially important in public schools, where students come from families representing a wide range of religious and nonreligious perspectives. Students remain free to pray individually or with one another, but the school itself must not place its microphone, authority or imprimatur behind a religious exercise.
FFRF Staff Attorney Sammi Lawrence, who wrote to the district on behalf of the complainant, says the outcome demonstrates why speaking up matters.
"Our complainant saw something that made them concerned for students who might not feel comfortable objecting themselves, and they had the courage to raise that concern," Lawrence says. "Because they spoke up and because district officials responded so responsibly, students will now be able to attend school events knowing that the school will respect their freedom of conscience."

Lower Taxes Lead to Knowledge Gains
Nima Sanandaji
Klas Tikkanen
Report from Europe shows just how much.
-
This article shares the results of a study completed by Nima Sanandaji, Director of the European Centre for Entrepreneurship and Policy Reform, and Klas Tikkanen, Chief Operating Officer at Nordic Capital.
Since 2017, the geography of knowledge-intensive employment in Europe has been closely studied by examining the share of adults in 34 European countries and244 regions who are employed in highly knowledge-intensive technology jobs--in other terms, roles that rely heavily on expertise, technology, and research as well as advanced information processing and cognitive skills.
The results are very clear: countries in Europe with lower taxes have a higher concentration of knowledge-intensive jobs and are also where new knowledge-intensive jobs are growing.
The geographical mapping of Europe's highly knowledge-intensive "brain business" jobs has gained increasing attention from national and regional governments, educators, researchers, chambers of commerce, and businesses across Europe. For example, the governments of Ireland and Estonia have leveraged the brain business jobs index for their innovation policy planning. It has been used likewise by Nordic governments. The index has global impact, having been used as university course literature in countries such as India and Mexico to understand the shifting economy of Europe.
There are two factors that help determine which European countries have the highest share of adults in knowledge-intensive jobs: the number of adults who work as engineers and scientists, since the two are closely related to the share who work in knowledge-intensive jobs; and a country's tax rates. These two factors show that countries with higher taxes have fewer workers in knowledge-intensive roles compared with countries that have lower taxes.
The best example of this is that, while Sweden has the highest share of adults who are engineers and scientists, the share of adults who are employed in brain business jobs specifically is ranked third highest among European countries, since not all engineers and scientists are employed in knowledge-intensive roles. Switzerland has, in all versions of the brain business jobs index, been ranked first, and Ireland has, during recent years, outpaced Sweden to second.
Europe is an increasingly integrated marketplace, and the growth in accordance with economic theory occurs where opportunities are best. This means that as business regulation becomes increasingly streamlined in the EU and its neighboring countries, growth is shifting toward places where taxes are lower, environments are more business-friendly, and talent is available at competitive prices.
The most significant increase in the share of adults employed in brain business jobs occurred in Cyprus, where the share has increased by 159% between 2014 and 2026. In Portugal and Croatia, the share has more than doubled, and in Lithuania, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Malta, and Estonia, the share has increased by more than 75%.
The UK fares relatively well, but overall, the large countries in Europe stagnate, having few adults in brain business jobs. Instead, smaller countries with lower taxes are climbing to the top. As mentioned, Malta, the Netherlands, Estonia, and Cyprus are examples of nations with a strong number of brain business jobs. These countries have seen such growth in knowledge-intensive jobs that brain business jobs now make up 10% of all jobs.
The capital regions of four Central European countries and of Portugal are where many digital nomads flock. Here, one can find jobs, a relatively free market for housing and work, competitive taxes, and an abundance of knowledge-intensive jobs.
In total, there are roughly 1.1 million brain business jobs in the French capital region, Paris. This is far more than any other part of Europe, since Paris has such a big population, but the share of adults employed in brain business jobs there is 14.6%, 19th highest in Europe. London ranks 16th, with a 14.8% share of adults in brain business jobs, and Stockholm holds a 17.9% share, which over time has slipped from 2nd to 9th place. At the top are Bratislava (24.8%), Prague and Budapest (22.2%), Lisbon (20.5%), and Bucharest (19.9%).
The story of Europe is all about institutional competition, and it's a story that repeats itself throughout history again and again. The large economies of Europe are stagnating with growth in general, and as examined, growth of knowledge-intensive brain business jobs in particular.
One can assume that this means Europe is stagnating. However, massive progress is happening in smaller European nations, which typically combine lower tax rates with more economic progress and growing human capital in their metropolitan regions.
Growth in an increasingly integrated European market shifts to where the tax burden is lower, human capital is more available, and wages are more competitive. Thus, institutional competition is created among regions and countries to create the best conditions, resulting in pressure to reform, even for the larger European nations.
The shifting knowledge-intensive geography of Europe illustrates the importance of creating a favorable tax and regulatory climate. Regions where a higher share of adults work in brain business jobs have, on average, lower unemployment rates, since these jobs not only are important in themselves given our increasingly technological world, but they also stimulate creation of other jobs in local services as well as companies that are suppliers to these brain businesses.
According to economic theory, large countries have economies of scale advantages. The lesson from Europe is that when smaller countries instead turn to competitive tax and business policies, this can compensate for the effect and even allow smaller countries to overtake larger ones, especially if large countries focus on high taxes and stiff government control.

October 1, 2026 (Boston, MA) - Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey on Thursday sent a letter to U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright urging the federal government to expedite review of gas pipeline expansion in the state. Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) released the following statement in response:
"This letter unwittingly adopts the false narrativethat expansion of gas infrastructure will lower heating costs for New England families and businesses," said Caitlin Peale Sloan, CLF vice president for climate and energy. "To the contrary, and as reinforced by the late-winter cold snap, the early summer heat dome, and most recently the Iran energy shocks, prices for gas and other polluting fuels are and will be outpacing inflation without end, while the only factor demonstrably containing prices has been deliveries of cleaner hydro and renewable offshore wind power to this market."
CLF experts are available for further comment.

"Ford's contributions go deeper than sponsorship to truly walking the walk in ways that help us accelerate breakthroughs for the type 1 diabetes community. This year Ford stepped up to drive Breakthrough T1D Walk registrations through the Ford Challenge, where they generously committed funds for individual registrations up to $75,000. Breakthrough T1D is deeply grateful for Ford's leadership and ongoing partnership."
With over 120 Breakthrough T1D Walks across the country, the events bring together individuals, families, teams, organizations, and national sponsors to walk and raise critical funds that accelerate Breakthrough T1D's mission. Those interested can engage with a Breakthrough T1D Walk through fundraising and participation, locally and virtually. All are invited to learn more and register for a Breakthrough T1D Walk at BreakthroughT1D.org/Walk.
About Breakthrough T1D, Formerly JDRF
As the leading global type 1 diabetes research and advocacy organization, Breakthrough T1D helps make everyday life with type 1 diabetes better while driving toward cures. We do this by investing in the most promising research, advocating for progress by working with government to address issues that impact the T1D community, and helping educate and empower individuals facing this condition.
About Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)
T1D is an autoimmune condition that causes the pancreas to make very little insulin or none at all. This leads to dependence on insulin therapy and the risk of short and long-term complications, which can include highs and lows in blood sugar; damage to the kidneys, eyes, nerves, and heart; and even death. Globally, it impacts 9.5 million people. Many believe T1D is only diagnosed in childhood and adolescence, but diagnosis in adulthood is common and accounts for nearly 50% of all T1D diagnoses. The onset of T1D has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. While its causes are not yet entirely understood, scientists believe that both genetic factors and environmental triggers are involved. There is currently no cure for T1D.
