So, how are we gonna make a dent in this with the lack of private funding?
Because public dollars follow private funding.
for the most part.
And so what we do at the Phillips Foundation is we like to incubate innovative or new concepts, provide the proof of concept to then take it to the state and say, this works.
Look, it'll actually save taxpayer dollars if you scale this versus ignoring the issue.
That's worked with a lot of our initiatives through our foundation.
That's an approach we take.
We're not a traditional foundation.
But we got summoned by the queen to the palace in Stockholm.
She had started the World Childhood Foundation 25 years ago.
She was really ahead of her time.
on just addressing child sexual abuse as a problem.
Um, and her daughter, um, Princess Madeleine, um, is about to, because Queen Sylvia is now in her 80s, she's passing the torch to Princess Madeleine, who is really amazing.
She was so nice, so chill.
She just moved back to Stockholm from, um, Florida with her kids, and she's gonna take this on for her, you know, carry the legacy on.
So we all convened in Stockholm.
We heard from this doctor I mentioned.
We heard from a few other people that study pedophiles and have some promising interventions.
Then we grew the group from those eight foundations to like 15 foundations to what we just hosted in Dallas.
And then there was another one, maybe 30.
