Interest in philanthropy for and by women has intensified in recent years, accompanied by a growing acceptance of the idea that philanthropic investments in women and girls can accelerate positive change in communities. To understand this evolution in thinking and practice, the Foundation Center partnered with the Women's Funding Network, a global movement of more than 145 member funds, to chart the landscape of philanthropy focused on women and girls and document the specific role played by women's funds. The report examines these funds' distinctive contributions to philanthropy and the dimensions and scope of their grantmaking.
This program is free of charge, but advance registration is required. Registration is limited
to the first 100 respondents. Please RSVP online by Monday, June 15.
