SUMMARY:Tour in Place: The Fog Beyond the Mountains (MEMBERS + FRIENDS)
DESCRIPTION:The story of racial difference in the Northwest often overlooks communities\, obscures narratives\, and keeps heritage cloaked in fog. For this session\, we unfold the story of race in the Pacific Northwest. From Mukilteo\, Washington to Coos Bay\, Oregon to Minidoka\, Idaho\, the Sankofa Impact team will guide us on a virtual tour of the often untold racial history in the Northwest. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will engage in mindfulness\, community building\, self-reflection\, courageous conversations\, and “ride the bus” as we visit six locations that unfold narratives of race and identity around the Pacific Northwest. Join the WaWF community on Thursday\, February 20th at the Washington Women’s Foundation in the afternoon\, from 2 to 5PM! This is a rescheduled event from November 2024. \nClick here to register for The Fog Beyond the Mountains! \nThis in-person event is open to WaWF members and their friends.

SUMMARY:2024 PopUP! for Women & Girls! (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fast-paced\, fun-filled evening of collective giving where together we’ll learn about\, pitch and select our 2024 Women & Girls Grantees!  PopUP! is an interactive celebration of women\, of girls\, of organizations creating equitable opportunities for women and girls across Washington State\, and of the power of collective philanthropy. \nAt WaWF\, one of our cherished values is to elevate and amplify the power of all who identify as women. Supported by the WFA Fund for Women\, we offer the Women & Girls Grant to organizations focused on women and girls within the year’s chosen priorities: Mental Health + Housing\, Expanding Access to Art in Schools and Re-entry Support. The PopUP! is the culmination of the work of the Women & Girls Grant Committee.   \nOur working definition of gender identity is a person’s internal\, deeply held sense of their gender. As such\, we define women and girls as individuals whose gender identity is as a woman or girl. For the Women & Girls grant program\, we intend to fund with an intersectional lens and aim to support organizations that foster more equitable opportunities for women and girls.    \nThis event is in person at the National Nordic Museum at 2655 NW Market St in Seattle\, WA from 5:00 to 7:30 PM on Wednesday\, December 4th 2024. Everyone is welcome. Tickets are $50 each. Festive drinks and heavy appetizers are included with ticket purchase.   \nParking is located first-come\, first-serve in the National Nordic Museum’s lot (behind the museum) for $2 an hour – consider carpooling or taking public transportation!

SUMMARY:Securing a Multiracial Democracy: In Conversation with Steve Phillips (OPEN TO ALL)
DESCRIPTION:Join political leader\, columnist and bestselling author Steve Phillips and local civic organizations for a discussion on race\, elections\, and how our modern day dilemmas are an extension of a fight that dates back to the Civil War. \nIn his new book\, How We Win the Civil War\, Phillips warns that the Confederates never really stopped fighting the Civil War\, that conservatives are taking full advantage of this reality\, and that those in denial imperil our democracy. \nWith his trademark blend of political analysis and historical argument\, Phillips lays out razor-sharp prescriptions\, from increasing voter participation and demolishing racist immigration policies to reviving the Great Society programs of the 1960s—all of them geared toward strengthening a new multiracial democracy and ridding our politics of white supremacy\, once and for all. \nThe event will feature an interview with Phillips\, audience Q&A\, and opportunities to get engaged with local civic organizations\, working to create a multiracial democracy that works for all of us. \nThis event is co-hosted by the Washington Women’s Foundation\, Progress Alliance of Washington\, and Social Venture Partners Seattle. \nClick here to register for Securing a Multiracial Democracy!

SUMMARY:Gender Justice Training (MEMBERS ONLY)
DESCRIPTION:Join us Tuesday\, October 8th\, 2024\, at the Washington Women’s Foundation for a Gender Justice training with the Epiphanies of Equity team! By deepening our understanding of contemporary gender dynamics\, we aim to enhance the quality of our grant decisions\, nonprofit partnerships and relationships\, and help cultivate a more welcoming world. From book bans to the #metoo movement\, to the fall of Roe v. Wade\, to legislation in many states targeting queer and trans folks – gender injustice is all around us\, demanding our attention\, understanding\, and action. This training will cover core concepts\, key terms and empower folks to think broadly and critically about the world of gender. These activities may explore topics such as gender identity versus expression and the role of intersectionality. \nEOE uses a framework known as the psychosocial basis of equity work\, which delves into the interplay between our internal processes and external interactions. This framework examines how our subconscious thoughts and behaviors\, often operating on autopilot\, influence our engagement with others and ultimately shape the outcomes of equity efforts. EOE’s approach is rooted in organizational development\, social equity\, and change management\, recognizing humans as the dynamic “chaos variable” in equity work. Rather than sidelining individual subjectivity\, EOE emphasizes its central role in shaping perceptions and behaviors\, including understanding gender dynamics and evolving terminology around gender. \nClick here to register for the Gender Justice training!\nThis is an in-person training on Tuesday\, October 8th at the Washington Women’s Foundation. We will have virtual access and we encourage you to participate in person if able. There will be a pre-event survey to understand the landscape of gender justice and how we interact with gender throughout the world. \nPlease direct questions to programs@wawomensfdn.org.

SUMMARY:MET: Who's Watching You Tour (MEMBERS + FRIENDS)
DESCRIPTION:Who’s Watching You? – Do you ever have the feeling that you are being watched when you walk in downtown Seattle? You are probably right.

Please bring $20 to contribute to the tour cost. If you have binoculars\, bring them to see the sights more clearly. There will be an optional lunch after the tour at the Pink Door. We will meet at the SE corner of Western Avenue and Blanchard St and the ending point will be Cherry Street and Fourth Avenue. \nBio: David B. Williams is an author\, naturalist\, and tour guide whose award-winning book\, Homewaters: A Human and Natural History of Puget Sound is a deep exploration of the stories of this beautiful waterway. He is also the author of the award-winning book Too High and Too Steep: Reshaping Seattle’s Topography\, as well as Seattle Walks: Discovering History and Nature in the City. Williams is a Curatorial Associate at the Burke Museum and writes a free weekly newsletter\, the Street Smart Naturalist. \nClick here to register for Who’s Watching You Tour\nPlease direct questions to programs@wawomensfdn.org.
