A Force to be Reckoned With
The Woolbright Group, a non-profit consulting organization, recently released a video on Women in Philanthropy and we’re big fans. While focused on the United States, its messages—about including women in leadership roles, what motivates women to give, and why we should pay attention to this burgeoning group of philanthropists—are universal. We hope you and your club find it useful. Tell us what you think by emailing susanf@soroptimist.org.
