SUMMARY:Racial Equity in Funding Advocacy (OPEN TO ALL)
DESCRIPTION:Building on last June’s session with Bolder Advocacy\, Investing in Change\, join the Washington Women’s Foundation and Bolder Advocacy as we explore Racial Equity in Funding Advocacy on June 21st 2023 at 3PM. \nThis session is all about rolling up our sleeves and applying our experience around advocacy. After a short recap of the advocacy rules covered in our earlier sessions\, we will dive in and explore a series of hypothetical scenarios that funders may encounter when it comes to supporting and engaging in advocacy. We will close out our session by sharing out some best practices and considerations for how funders can build power through advocacy to support racially equitable outcomes. \nAdvocacy definition: Our understanding of advocacy is 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\, or nonpartisan political work. \nFor this event\, please register via Bolder Advocacy at this link. \nThis virtual session is required for members of the Advocacy Grant committee\, open to the community and the recording will be shared with those who register. Please email programs@wawomensfdn.org with any questions.

During this session\, moderated by WaWF Member Jennifer Sik\, attendees will learn from Nancy Reid of Tyche Consulting and Sandhya Nakhasi of Common Future about how to better align your investments with your values\, applying an equity lens to investments and some individual steps you can take with your own investments. \nNancy Reid designs strategies for families to align their investments with what matters most to them.

As Managing Director of Community Credit Lab and CF Investments\, Sandhya uses an experimental approach to stewarding and growing a portfolio of field defining\, equitable lending and community-led investment programs that demonstrate solutions that shift the flow of capital towards BIPOC communities to build a more equitable financial system.

Aftershock tells the story of two families recently processing the devastating effects of the maternal mortality epidemic\, highlighting how black mothers are four times more likely to die during childbirth. \nThe Member Events Committee (MEC)  invites attendees to screen one or both films at home and then join us for this in-person conversation.

SUMMARY:Member Town Hall: Growing Our Membership (MEMBERS ONLY)
DESCRIPTION:Presenting our new(ish) Membership structure!  \nMembership is at the heart of Washington Women’s Foundation. As members\, you make up our collective. You fund our grants\, our programs and our operations. You\, our members\, are our everything!  \nAll of us work to retain our current members\, even while we look for ways to expand our membership base. In support of that effort\, for the past year your Membership Task Force (MTF) has been working on these questions: What could we do to make our membership more inclusive? How can we be sure to keep our current members happy? How can we bring in new members?  \nTo answer these questions\, the MTF researched ideas from other women’s collective giving groups around the country\, conducted membership surveys to hear from you\, and eventually developed a membership recruitment and retention strategy you can truly be proud of!  \nLast month the MTF presented their recommendations to your Board of Directors\, who enthusiastically approved the plan. Then they presented it to your Cabinet\, and those committee leaders all loved the new(ish) structure\, too.  \nWhich means it’s finally ready to show off to you – and we can’t wait to hear what you think!  \nWe do want you to know right away that your classic membership contribution of $2\,500 has not changed! With that important first question out of the way\, join us on February 21st and get all the rest of your questions answered!  \nPanelists:  \nKris Kaminishi\, Washington Women’s Foundation Board President  \nDiane Altman Dautoff\, Membership Task Force Member  \nPage Pless\, Membership and Resource Development Committee Member  \nThis Member Town Hall will take place virtually on Zoom\, Tuesday February 21st\, at 12PM.   \nRegister here for Member Town Hall!\nThis is a WaWF member-only event and will be recorded for members who are unable to attend.  Email programs@wawomensfdn.org with any questions!

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Gabrielle Blair\, author of Ejaculate Responsibly (OPEN TO ALL)
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, Washington Women’s Foundation’s (WaWF) Member Events Committee (MEC) selects a book for all members to read and discuss. In 2023\, MEC invites you to read Ejaculate Responsibly: A Whole New Way to Think About Abortion by Gabrielle Blair. Join us on February 15th 2023 at 12PM for a virtual discussion with the author. \nIf you or your friends have had experiences with birth control in your lives\, you may find this quick-read book provocative\, and you just may want to join WaWF in a discussion with the author\, Gabrielle Blair.  Please join the discussion even if you haven’t yet read the book. \nWorkman Publishing describes the book: “In Ejaculate Responsibly\, Gabrielle Blair offers a provocative reframing of the abortion issue in post-Roe America. In a series of 28 brief arguments\, Blair deftly makes the case for moving the abortion debate away from controlling and legislating women’s bodies and instead directs the focus on men’s lack of accountability in preventing unwanted pregnancies.” \nEjaculate Responsibly is available for purchase at Third Place Books. We encourage you to consider purchasing it from Third Place Books\, Bookshop.org or from your neighborhood bookstore. You can also check for the book at your local library. \nGabrielle Blair the founder of DesignMom.com.

She is also a founder of Alt Summit\, the blockbuster annual conference for online content creators and creative entrepreneurs\, currently in its thirteenth year. As a thought leader for more than fifteen years\, Gabrielle has written and moderated hundreds of discussions on difficult topics and interviewed some of the most influential people in the world. Her writing is quoted and shared across the globe daily. Gabrielle and her husband\, Ben Blair\, have six children—Ralph\, Maude\, Olive\, Oscar\, Betty\, and Flora June. After six years in Oakland\, California\, they moved to a small town in Normandy\, France\, where they are renovating a house from the 1600s. \nRegister here for A Conversation with Gabrielle Blair\, author of Ejaculate Responsibly!\nThis event is open to all and we invite WaWF members to share this event with their wider community.

SUMMARY:Norms for Engaging in Courageous Conversations with Cultures Connecting (MEMBERS ONLY)
DESCRIPTION:Join trainers from Cultures Connecting to widen your skill set and develop strategies to dismantle institutional racism. \nOne of the most common questions I get asked when facilitating conversations on race is “What can I do?” There are many things that can and should be done to dismantle institutional racism. Including learning to have effective conversations about racism. If we don’t talk about racism\, we can’t identify institutional racism in our organizations\, and therefore dismantle it. We all have different experiences and perspectives on race depending on our racial identity and where we come from. This often leads to tension and conflict in cross cultural interactions. Typical\, unspoken norms we use to engage in everyday conversations don’t work when talking about race. So\, what does? In this workshop participants learn seven tools to guide them in having effective conversations about race\, racism\, and race relations\, adapted from the work of Glenn Singleton.\nObjectives—Participants will:\n1) Learn tools and strategies for how to engage in cross cultural interactions.\n2) Individually identify what is most difficult for them in race conversations and commit to practicing a new way of engaging.\n3) Deepen their understanding of the need for explicit norms to guide our conversations. \nRegister here for Norms for Engaging in Courageous Conversations.\nThis online training is Tuesday\, November 1st from 1PM-4PM and will meet virtually on zoom. Please direct questions to programs@wawomensfdn.org .
