Today is International Women's Day, and I'm celebrating all the incredible women who make our industry run! But as we celebrate how far we've come, let's not forget how much more there is to do. According to the American Association of University Women, "Women make up 75% of nonprofit employees." Unfortunately, "only 42% of nonprofit boards are led by women and only 22% of nonprofits are run by a woman Executive Director/CEO" (2018). That quote and more in this article from Candid about the state of gender equity in our industry: https://lnkd.in/euGAhM-F And while we're thinking equity, let's make sure we're thinking about equity in all its forms for everyone. If you need more reading on that, I always start with the amazing folks over at Community-Centric Fundraising: https://lnkd.in/e4AUeSs7

Learning so much from the brilliant women on this panel discussion!

It's International Women's Day! I always mark this day remembering how very women-run this industry is: 75% of nonprofit staff identify as women, according to the American Association of University Women. Unfortunately, we've still got a long way to go before we are a women-led industry: “only 42% of nonprofit boards are led by women and only 22% of nonprofits are run by a woman Executive Director/CEO” (AAUW, 2018). We can do better. On the gender-equity front, and every other equity front. Here's a starter article from Candid on what you can do to create better gender equity at your nonprofit: https://lnkd.in/euGAhM-F For more robust discussions on equity in our sector, I follow https://lnkd.in/e4AUeSs7 Drop links for others you follow so we can all make sure we're prioritizing equity in this unique, messy, amazing, flawed, and crucial social impact sector of ours.

Mama Cash is a participatory grantmaker. But what does participatory grantmaking mean exactly? To us, it means we are shifting decision-making about our grants from our staff to the communities we aim to serve: namely women, girls, and trans and intersex people who are creating a more just and joyous world. Ultimately, participatory grantmaking is about sharing power. It turns the traditional approach of philanthropy on its head by recognising the communities as the experts on their own reality and the feminist movements more broadly.
