Women in Philanthropy
About the Event
April Educational Luncheon
When women make a gift, are in a leadership position, or volunteer their time to a nonprofit or charitable organization, they tend to base their efforts on solid principles such as compassion, values, vision, and responsibility.
Learn from Martha A. Taylor, a pioneering and innovative thought leader in philanthropy, as she explores how women's philanthropy has led the way in virtually reinventing the world of fundraising and ways of giving. Taylor will share new ways to better engage women in giving, as well as insights into developing women leaders in the nonprofit arena, in order to shape the future for the better.
