The Six A's: Creating Successful Women's Philanthropy Programs

What motivates women to give? What inspires them and prompts them to engage in philanthropy? What are their values and interests? The field of women's philanthropy is expanding at a phenomenal pace, thanks to MacKenzie Scott, Melinda Gates, and many other bold, brave women. Join Lois Buntz to learn how women give differently than men and how your organization and fundraising staff can develop a women's philanthropy program or grow and enhance your current one. The 6 A's model will help you assess women's wealth capacity, maximize their giving potential, and grow resources for your organization.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn why women's philanthropy is important and its impact on the philanthropic sector.
2. Learn how women practice philanthropy and how your organization can capture their giving potential.
3. Learn how to use an engagement model (the 6 A's) to successfully build a women's philanthropy strategy.

Virtual attendance is available.
