A lively and inspirational one-day workshop to explore, understand, and apply the motivations and marketing principles behind philanthropy based on gender. Sessions will include a panel discussion by donors who share their passion for philanthropy, interactive exercises examining whether your organization is gender sensitive, and presentations by leading experts on women’s philanthropy and marketing to women. Nonprofit leaders, fund development professionals, and marketers are especially encouraged to attend.Please join us!

Women make more than 80% of all consumer purchases for their households, control over 50% of the total wealth in America, and give to more than twice as many charitable organizations as men do. The current economic climate encourages both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations to view their marketing and development activities through new lenses. Women are a growing important segment of the donor population.

Join us as we increase understanding of the motivations and marketing principles behind women’s giving and provide action items for participants to implement. This workshop will provide insight to improve development and marketing efforts to reach women of different marital status, sources of income, and generations by looking at philanthropy through a gender lens.

Featuring leading experts on women’s philanthropy and marketing to women, including:

Dr. Debra Mesch

Director of the Women’s Philanthropy Institute at the Center on Philanthropy, Professor of Public and Nonprofit Management in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and Professor of Philanthropic Studies at Indiana University.

Lisa Witter

Co-author of The She Spot: Why Women are the Market for Changing the World and How to Reach Them (Berrett-Koehler, 2008) and partner and Chief Change Officer at Fenton, the largest public interest communications firm in the country.

Martha Taylor

Martha Taylor

Co-founder of the Women’s Philanthropy Institute, vice president at the University of Wisconsin Foundation, and member of the Madison Community Foundation Board of Governors.
