Women’s Philanthropy: A Sector-Wide Journey to Inclusion

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Fundraising Best Practices Leadership and Management Women's Philanthropy 0Comments

The movement to grow women’s philanthropy is not meant to focus only on one profile of women who give. Women’s philanthropy includes ALL those who identify as women. It is intended to be inclusive.

We unconsciously may be perpetuating a system of racism and gender inequity.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Leadership and Management Talent Management 0Comments

If you were working remotely before Covid-19, your transition to remote work was probably much easier than your colleagues who had been working at your organization’s home base. Responsibility for communication pre-Covid-19 generally fell to the remote worker. Now that burden has shifted to managers. If you are managing staff then there are new guidelines for managing up, down, and laterally. Your ability to be successful will revolve around how well you communicate, set clear goals and expectations, advocate for and provide the necessary tools for successfully meeting those goals and expectations, and maintain your organization’s culture and your team’s alignment to its mission.
