As a diverse community of women philanthropists, we still have much to learn from the nonprofits that work to lift up the most neglected people and neighborhoods in our city. In an effort to be more effective partners, there may be more to contribute than our funding. What is it that would be most helpful to non-profits beyond money? How can we inspire and energize, rather than "other" them and the people they serve?
Our next Wisdom series attempts to explore those questions and more by interviewing a panel of our own Impact 100 members who also lead local nonprofits. more info...
