🎃 ☠️ Fake data are usually SCARY... but these made-up stats are just for fun! 💭 Our social media manager conducted an imaginary, completely non-random and non-representative survey of her two elementary-age sons, some kids at the playground, and a few tired parents at the bus stop for our (totally fake) 2024 Halloween Survey. ⬇️ Click through the slides below for the (also totally fake) results. 🍫 🍭 As always, please consume data—and candy—responsibly. Happy Halloween! #Halloween #survey #data

🎂 This week, we blew out 95 candles on our birthday cake—how wild is that?! 📢 While our 1929 birth year may place us demographically in the Silent Generation, we've never been quiet about our belief in the ability of data and evidence to create a better world for everyone. 🙏 As we look back on nearly a century of PRB, we want to thank you for your support. To everyone who's ever used or shared our work, worked alongside us, followed us, donated to or partnered with us, or even simply believed in us—to our employees, to our board members, to our partners, to our champions, to our friends—here's to the next 95! 🥂

"When you're looking at the forces on the generation, what shapes the way they think? It's the economic and social environment they grow up. It's the cultural context, even music that can make a difference." -Patrick Dunne This week at PRB, we had the honor of hosting guest speaker Patrick Dunne, who visited us and our friends at PRB this week to discuss his book, "Five Generations At Work: How We Win Together, For Good."

The momentum to save lives. More than 730 million people live in areas where USAID MOMENTUM projects have improved the quality of care for maternal and child health, while helping local organizations that deliver these programs grow. With their mission to foster new opportunities and strengthen resiliency in health systems, MOMENTUM continues to support the lives of many in 2024. Want to learn more about MOMENTUMs impact?
