In the last several years, we have seen a marked decrease in global giving. Thank you to WMM members Lisa Valone and Karen Keating Ansara for convening a thought-provoking conversation yesterday and shining a light on this worrying trend. We were honored to be joined by Algene S. , a seasoned expert in global gender equality and foreign policy, who shared her valuable insights and perspective on what the future holds. This conversation was an inspiring reminder of how interconnected we are and the power of this community to create meaningful change worldwide.

"A Black feminist worldview invites us to start from the margins, working all the way to the centre. A Black feminist worldview invites us to understand the world through an axis of both race and gender. To counter the patriarchal, hegemonic white supremacist systems we navigate, funders need to invest in all feminist movements othered by this default." Thanks to Vanessa T. of Black Feminist Fund for this compelling read exploring how prioritizing Black feminist leadership can transform our collective approach to equity and justice.

Today is National Philanthropy Day! Established in the 1980s to celebrate the profound impact of philanthropy on societal change, #NationalPhilanthropyDay invites us to honor the progress we’ve made, the strides we’re taking, and the transformative work still to come. WMM is building a powerful, enduring movement—one that has intergenerational impact, honors women’s leadership, embraces diversity, and envisions a future where gender equality is not just a goal, but a reality. By 2030, as $32 trillion in wealth transfers into the hands of women, our visionary community, alongside a dynamic and interconnected ecosystem, will push the boundaries of what’s possible for women and girls, channeling resources to the most critical and overlooked areas. Together, we will create a bold – yet achievable – future where all who identify as women will have the guarantee of full autonomy, freedom, and agency over every aspect of their lives.
