Investing in women and girls is one of the smartest strategies for creating lasting change. From economic growth to climate resilience, peacebuilding to public health, women are at the center of change and the ripple effects they create are undeniable. Yet, women and girls’ causes receive a scant 2% of all philanthropic funding. Women and girls make communities safer, stronger, and more sustainable. LEARN MORE All week I have been inspired by our global community sharing what it means to be women-powered. On Monday, we hosted a community storytelling festival featuring videos from resilient, innovative, change-leaders. And, we’ve been highlighting these partners throughout the week on Instagram, too. Today we’re closing the week celebrating Give to Women and Girls Day. I hope you will join me in uplifting women and girls around the world today by supporting these incredible projects.
