we believe that building gender-wise practice across the philanthropic sector starts with shared understanding, critical reflection, and informed action.

To support this, we offer tailored presentations to philanthropic Boards and interactive Gender-wise Workshops for philanthropic staff and decision-makers. These sessions are designed to build confidence, spark conversation, and embed a gender lens in strategic planning, grantmaking, and evaluation.

Board Presentations
Our Board presentations are evidence-based and engaging, offering a concise overview of why applying a gender lens matters—and how it can lead to greater impact. We share key data, insights from our State of Gender-wise Giving Survey, and examples of good practice to help Boards understand their opportunity to lead. Presentations are tailored to your organisation’s mission, funding areas, and current approach, and can be delivered online or in person.

Gender-wise Workshops
Our practical workshops are designed for staff at all levels of philanthropic organisations. Whether you’re just starting to explore gender-wise giving or looking to refine existing practice, our sessions offer space to learn, reflect, and apply tools in real-time. Workshops include case studies, frameworks for analysis, and hands-on exercises to support funders in asking the right questions, identifying gaps, and building more inclusive funding portfolios.

We also highlight the intersectionality of gender with other forms of inequality, including race, ability, age, and class—ensuring a holistic, systems-aware approach to equity.

Why this matters
We know that women and girls continue to face systemic barriers to safety, wellbeing, and opportunity—and that philanthropic investments that ignore gender can risk unintentionally reinforcing inequality. Embedding gender-wise principles into your funding strategy can amplify your organisation’s impact and contribute to a more just and inclusive society.
