Following up on my post about women and philanthropy, I’d love to hear how many of you are giving back to society in your own way and capacity, and what causes you’re supporting. Please share in the comments! would love to hear! #philanthropy, #womeninphilanthropy , #backtosociety

This! “Women and girls historically receive fewer resources. Only 1.9% of charitable donations in the U.S. go to causes focused on women and girls.” Globally, the picture is no brighter. The field of women-centric philanthropy is far from crowded. Yet, women funders are four times more likely than men to support women-focused causes. Some argue funders should invest instead of donate, forgetting that ROI isn’t just financial—it’s socio-economic. The ripple effect benefits women, communities, and entire economies.

What does Philanthropy mean to women and women Leaders? Being a woman and a leader can change someone’s life. Philanthropy is more than just donating money—it’s about leveraging influence, skills, networks, and time to create lasting change at the grassroots level. Philanthropy, in my definition, is- love of humanity. Top women leaders or emerging leaders have a unique platform to encourage philanthropy by leveraging their influence, values, and networks and drive social transformation through philanthropy. As women, we know we are not all talk, we are thoughts and actions. Whether through time, money, or influence, there’s a place for everyone in philanthropy. Philanthropy doesn’t always have to be global—sometimes the most impactful change happens in local communities. The extraordinary impact can come from ordinary acts, and as women leaders, we are more than capable and equipped to bring about that change. #womenleaders, #philanthropy, #humanity
