In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re excited to partner with a powerhouse group of women to discuss how we can work together to close the gender gap within the grantmaking and philanthropy space. Fundraising expert and leader Kimberly O’Donnell will be joined by Ruth McFarlane, chief advancement officer at Ms. Foundation for Women; Chloe Silva, VP of community impact at Women’s Foundation for the State of Arizona; and Elizabeth Barajas-Román, president and CEO of Women’s Funding Network as they discuss their shared commitment to advancing gender justice and equality. During this session, we’ll discuss:
· The state of gender inequality in philanthropy and common misconceptions that persist today.
· How you can shatter antiquated grantmaking practices and implement trust-based funding strategies within your organization.
· How to propose an investment in gender equity practices to your board and secure their support.
· Actionable ways grantmakers can advance gender equality and justice within their communities.
