Less than 2% of charitable giving in the United States goes to women and girls—and only a fraction of that goes to supporting girls and young women of color. This #InternationalWomensDay, we're calling on philanthropy to #InvestInWomen by creating spaces where adolescent girls and young women of color can learn, play, dream, and become powerful movement leaders. Tides Foundation's Advancing Girls Fund powers grantmaking for girls and young women of color and their allies. Since 2021, we’ve granted more than $61.9M to 150 girl-centered organizations in 20 countries, 90% of which are BIPOC-led. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ercMjJxw

Not enough

Today is #GiveFTFDay. I believe in the mission and vision of Forward through Ferguson because racial equity results in improvements for everyone - and my children and the society have the right to live in a place that is racially just. FTF’s work is an asset to the community. I believe in Forward through Ferguson’s unflinching work that provides data and research, trainings, and tells the stories of those most impacted to advance racial equity for the region and the nation. Will you join me in advancing racial equity by making a $20 donation. https://lnkd.in/gCCePgXS

Setbacks have affected women’s and girls’ struggles for equality and equity in recent years, yet the share of total philanthropic support going to women’s and girls’ nonprofits barely covers costs. In fact, research from the Women's Philanthropy at Indiana University (WPI) shows that less than 2% of all charitable gifts in America goes to women’s and girls’ organizations. How can you help morph this drop-in-the-bucket into a bold new funding wave? We suggest you start by giving to WomenStrong International! We help strengthen the capacity of women-led organizations across the globe, working in the areas of girls' education, women's health, economic security, and preventing violence against women and girts.   Donate here: https://lnkd.in/eRddphdS  Women's Philanthropy at Indiana University Women's Funding Network Susan Blaustein Lois Buntz Tara Stone Medina, CFRE

💌 For #GivingTuesday, your donation will go twice as far. Starting today, our Board of Directors will match ALL donations up to $25,000 through Friday, December 1, 2023. At Start Small Think Big, we partner with entrepreneurs from marginalized communities. 98% of small businesses we work with are owned by persons of color and/or women; 47% of #AllForSmall businesses are located in areas where people are living below the federal poverty line. Why? Because entrepreneurs with limited access to the resources deserve to build thriving businesses. That's why we prioritize these communities for our free legal, marketing, and finance services: - Communities of color - Immigrant communities - LGBTQIA community - Formerly Incarcerated individuals - Veterans - People with disabilities - Low Income individuals (under 500% FPG) - Women Last year alone, we provided these free resources and services to more than 3,400 small businesses, totaling 19.7 million dollars. And you can help us continue this work. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/dckUjNSD

Starting up a foundation can be overwhelming as is. After you start one and you're beginning to understand your role comes the possibility to become a member of any number of philanthropy-serving organizations (PSOs). PSOs, such as Philanthropy Network Greater Philadelphia, are structured in a variety of ways and provide resources, supports, and connections to those in the philanthropic sector. In this blog post, harp-weaver staff break down how different PSOs are structured, the benefits they can bring to a funder, and how a funder can decide which one/s to join.

We know how busy everyone is, but please take a moment to mark this date in your calendar! On October 20, our client, Friends With Dignity Ltd are raising funds to support those affected by domestic violence. DV doesn't discriminate — it is an insidious shadow that can touch anyone, regardless of age, gender, culture, or background. Their upcoming Little Friends Giving Day acknowledges the shadow that DV leaves not just on the adults involved, but on the tender hearts and young minds who bear witness. These children, innocent victims of circumstances beyond their control, carry scars that might last a lifetime. This year, thanks to the LJ Hooker Foundation and 4 Shore Projects, your donation will be DOUBLED, having an even greater impact on these innocent lives. So this October 20, please consider making a donation with the knowledge that it will have double the impact! #littlefriendsgivingday #ljhookerfoundation #4shoreprojects #BusinessDrivenPeopleFocused #IntegratedHR #hr #leadership #goldcoast #goldcoastbusiness #hrtips #businesstips #outsourcedhr #hrconsultant #humanresources #womeninbusiness #hrcommunity #recruitment #workplaceculture #welovehr #peoplemanagement #careers #employment #companyculture #employeeengagement
