Two women are thinking creatively about the questions asked in academic research and to one another in relationship to philanthropy. They are changing the information and data available as well as the conversations about gender and giving.
You can hear about their journey, research and convenings on one of our favorite philanthropy podcasts Forward Thinking’s recent episode “Growing Importance of Women in Philanthropy”.
