Women are positioned as never before in history to make a huge difference in philanthropy, not only with their time and compassion, but also with their money. As women’s wealth and influence grows, organizations that want to engage them in philanthropy will have to shift their approaches to address women’s unique interests and leadership styles.
Recently, Sam Beinhacker spoke with several leaders in engaging women in philanthropy to discuss what the coming shift of wealth to women means for the future of women in philanthropy. During a rich hour-long discussion, they covered topics ranging from the importance of a sense of community among women in philanthropy to the blurring of the lines between philanthropy and investing with the emergence of impact investing. They also covered a variety of other critical topics in the webinar, including two groups of women in philanthropy that warrant special attention: women of color and millennial women.
