SUMMARY:Advocacy Grant Celebration (OPEN TO ALL)
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about our new Advocacy grant initiative and celebrate our grantees! Hear from members of the Advocacy Grant Committee about our learnings and from grantees about their work. \nWhen refreshing our grants\, our goal was to develop a funding framework that would contribute to lasting change by deepening community resilience\, strengthening community leadership\, supporting community-led advocacy\, and committing community-directed resources. The Advocacy Grant Committee reviewed applications from organizations that engage in advocacy as part of their work and are focused on one of our three priorities for 2022: Community Cultural Preservation\, Mental Health & Housing\, and the School to Prison Pipeline.  This committee focused on advocacy grantmaking\, not taking direct advocacy action. The grant committee is made up of WaWF members and community members. WaWF understands advocacy as work that seeks to advance an idea\, argue a position\, and/or enrich the debate about an issue of public concern. This could include education\, research\, litigation\, campaigning\, grassroots organizing\, or nonpartisan political work. \nThe Advocacy Grant Celebration will take place on Tuesday\, September 13th at 3PM. \nThis virtual celebration is open to all and will be recorded. Email programs@wawomensfdn.org with any questions!  \nClick here to register for this event.

SUMMARY:Gender Norms: Race & Gender Responsive Funding Workshop (MEMBERS ONLY)
DESCRIPTION:Decades of research have found that young people who buy into rigid gender norms have lower life outcomes in a cluster of related areas that include basic health\,  education\, and economic empowerment. Similarly\, institutions tasked with young people’s welfare – juvenile justice\, foster care\, education\, and health – are also deeply gendered and gendering systems that anticipate\, reward\, and punish specific kinds of masculinity in boys and femininity in girls. \nGender affects every issue funders and grantees address and—combined with factors like race and class —is integral to an intersectional approach to structural inequality. Yet many grant programs ignore gender norms\, or else silo them as a LGBTQ+ issue.  Join this virtual\, open\, interactive discussion of the key terms\, ideas\, and findings behind intersectional approaches that reconnect race\, class\,  and gender. Concrete ideas for doing more race- and gender-responsive giving will be provided\, along with leave-behinds and group discussion. Participants in this workshop will understand: \n– Main gender terms and concepts \n– Intersectionality \n– How race and gender interact in structural inequality \n– Key research findings around race and gender \n– Ideas for more race- and gender-responsive funding \nWe are delighted to be joined by Riki Wilchins for this training. Riki Wilchins is Executive Director of TrueChild\, a network of researchers and experts that improves life outcomes for at-risk youth through race- and gender-responsive approaches. Riki has been profiled in The New York Times; TIME selected her one of “100 Civic Innovators for the 21st Century.” The author of six books on gender theory and politics\, Riki’s newest book for funders and nonprofits is titled\, “Gender Norms & Intersectionality: Connecting Race\, Class and Gender.” \nThis training is only open to members of Washington Women’s Foundation. If you’re a member and unable to make it\, a recording will be made available to all members that register.

SUMMARY:Conducting Effective Conversations (MEMBERS ONLY)
DESCRIPTION:The Collective Grants are the cornerstone of Washington Women’s Foundation’s (WaWF) work as a collective giving organization\, and a great way to connect with other members and learn about what’s happening in our community. This is the third full committee training for the 2022 Collective Grants Committee. Our focus will be to prepare for the Conversations Phase of the grant process.  \nHaving a conversation with a nonprofit as part of a grant process is an exciting\, energizing opportunity to more deeply understand their work. As a grantmaker\, how do you ensure that the conversation answers any outstanding questions? What can we as grantmakers do to set the tone of a positive and rewarding experience for everyone? By the end of this session\, participants will know basic etiquette and gain tools and strategies to minimize the effect of power dynamics between grantmakers and grant seekers.  \nAll WA Women’s Foundation members are welcome! Attendance is required for all 2022 Collective Grants Committee Conversation participants. This event and the Collective Grants Committee are only open to WaWF members. This event will be recorded.
