WOC Learning Lab: Philanthropy Across Generations

WOC Learning Lab

Philanthropy Across Generations:

A three-part course series on intergenerational philanthropy and relationships between women.

Our lived experiences inform our identities and therefore our philanthropic priorities and goals. As such, an important part of our philanthropic perspective is influenced by the world as it was when we were born and the environmental factors and values present in our upbringing. From unconscious bias to patriarchy and family dynamics, this course will examine the intersections of intergenerational philanthropy, how women give and how collective decisions can be successfully made, whether in the setting of a family foundation or giving circle. Taught by Yolanda F. Johnson, President of YFJ Consulting and Founder of WOC and Jeannie Sager, Director of the Women's Philanthropy Institute at Indiana University and WOC Advisory Committee member, this is a series that you don't want to miss! The objective is for participants to leave this series with a better understanding of intergenerational philanthropy and tips and tools on how to successfully navigate the often-challenging landscape of family and collective giving. The sessions will include perspectives from special guest speakers who are experts in women's philanthropy, family foundations and collective giving.
