Women in Philanthropy is a podcast by and for women working in the giving and social impact sector. In 20-minute episodes, we explore the roles and perspectives of women working in philanthropy and ask three rapid-fire questions: worst philanthropic jargon, most inspiring trend, and next needed role. You can’t always see behind the scenes in giving, which means you can’t see who enables this giving. This podcast connects women with one another across the sector & borders, and it amplifies women's experiences working in philanthropy, too often overlooked in our research and histories.

Episode 12: Season 1 Wrap up & Reflections with Michele Fugiel Gartner
<p>Welcome to a special episode of Women in Philanthropy. It's our Season 1 wrap-up! Thank you to all the listeners who have joined us this season. In this episode, responding to requests, we're turning the tables as I delve into my own experiences and insights after interviewing 14 incredible women in philanthropy this season.</p> <p>In the spotlight today: my unexpected journey into philanthropy and how curiosity and a research-driven mindset shaped my path. I'll share more about how the podcast came together and what we've learned in the process.</p> <p>Season 1 brought up several important themes, and I reflect on the context of women in philanthropy, their challenges, and the opportunities. We delved into valuing behind-the-scenes roles, addressing the opacity in philanthropic pathways, and navigating the dichotomies within the field. Challenges, such as the underrepresentation of women in leadership and the presence of bad actors, were not overlooked. However, amidst these challenges, opportunities emerged—driven by purpose, creativity, and the utilization of diverse resources.</p> <p>In a rapid-fire round, I'll share my thoughts on the worst philanthropic jargon ("Theory of change"), the most inspiring trend ("Mutual Aid"), and my speculation on AI's potential impact on philanthropic roles. Will it streamline processes or introduce biases? The future remains intriguing.</p> <p>Remember, the spaces we create are not just the end; they're the beginning of meaningful dialogues. Looking ahead, partnerships and the promise of Season 2 are on the horizon—this is just the beginning.</p> <p>Connect with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelefgartner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Michele</a> and the <a href="https://mfgchange.com/womeninphilanthropypodcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Women in Philanthropy podcast</a>.</p> <p><strong>TL; DL?: </strong>Check out our conversation and resources in the <a href="https://mfgchange.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Wrap-Up-and-Reflect-Eps-12.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Episode Notes Available Here</a><strong></strong><strong>.</strong></p> <p>*******************************</p> <p>Women in Philanthropy is a podcast created by women, for women working in the giving and social impact sector.

Episode 11: Philippa Cornish and Ashling Cashmore, From Gift to Grant
<p>Welcome to the 11th installment of Women in Philanthropy! As we approach the conclusion of Season 1, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your steadfast support throughout the past year. Please stay tuned for our upcoming wrap-up episode next month.</p> <p>Throughout Season 1, we've shed light on the diverse roles within philanthropy. The interconnections between these roles have become increasingly evident as you've followed our episodes. In this particular installment, we delve into how these roles coalesce within a single organization, focusing on the progression from securing donors' contributions to disbursing them to the community. This model is employed by numerous philanthropic organizations, and comprehending the synergy of these roles provides a clearer understanding of how funds are mobilized and how services are extended to both donors and charitable entities.</p> <p>In Episode 11, we embark on a journey from gifts to grants, accompanied by our guests, Philippa Cornish and Ashling Cashmore, who elucidate the interplay of their roles within the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF). Philippa expounds on her work with corporations in crafting strategic gift strategies, which dovetail with Ashling's responsibility of channeling these strategies into meaningful grants.</p> <p>Our guests also share insights into their prior experiences in client-facing positions and how these experiences aided their transition into the philanthropic sector. They offer perspectives on the evolving landscape of corporate giving, the burgeoning demand for donor advisory services, the imperative for enhanced transparency, and the challenge of addressing philanthropic polarization.</p> <p>We discuss the jargon of "donators" and of impact, positive trends of the democratization of impact and the upsurge in strategic corporate philanthropy, and wonder about the prospects for more philanthropic futurists and Chief Purpose Officers.</p> <p>Connect with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippa-cornish-2b61b749/?originalSubdomain=uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Philippa</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashling-cashmore-45400135/?originalSubdomain=uk">Ashling</a>.</p> <p><strong>TL; DL?: </strong>Check out our conversation and resources in the <a href="https://mfgchange.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Philippa-and-Ashling-Eps-11.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Episode Notes Available Here</a><strong></strong><strong>.</strong></p> <p>*******************************</p> <p>Women in Philanthropy is a podcast created by women, for women working in the giving and social impact sector.
