SUMMARY:MET: Redlining Heritage Trail Tour + Lunch @ Wing Luke Museum (MEMBERS ONLY)
DESCRIPTION:The Membership Experience Team (MET) will be inviting you to some special social and educational events this spring and summer. It will be a chance to finally have time to catch up with old friends and meet new ones in person! The goal of MET is to increase and maintain membership by engaging members in activities that are social\, activities that explore and educate\, and activities that highlight WaWF’s strategic plan and values. We hope that all members will feel a part of this committee\, their work and share any ideas you have or can offer for activities to encourage participation. \nThe Redlining Heritage Trail Tour is offered by the Wing Luke Museum and is produced in partnership with the National Park Service and Northwest African American Museum. Join us on Friday May 3rd at 11:00am as we walk through the Chinatown-International District and Central District. The tour will educate us about housing exclusion in Seattle and how the communities came together to make change. Though many believe Seattle as a liberal city\, the history of redlining and the road towards open housing has been a long struggle. Knowing the history of redlining and the Civil Rights movement in Seattle is necessary as we continue to explore themes of gentrification and displacement as time goes on. Take a walk with us to hear the stories of home\, and to celebrate BIPOC communities that are currently and were historically marginalized in Seattle. \nThe guided tour is 90 minutes long. The tour covers approximately 1 mile of travel on city sidewalks with elevation changes and indoors in a historic building. We would start in the Wing Luke Museum building at the Tateuchi Story Theatre before heading out into the neighborhood\, and then end back at the museum. Register early: this event has space for only 20 members. This tour is $21.00 per person\, payable upon arrival at the museum.  \nRegister here for the Redlining Heritage Trail Tour!\nJoin us for a no host lunch at 1:00pm at Jade Garden\, a lively dim sum restaurant near the museum. Please RSVP for the tour or for the tour and lunch. Please direct questions to MET co-leader\, Aru at aruvc@hotmail.com.

SUMMARY:Your Money Story & Philanthropy (MEMBERS ONLY)
DESCRIPTION:Join us as at our 2024 Philanthropy Series for the session\, “Your Money Story & Philanthropy” which will inspire and encourage you to share and discuss your money story and philanthropic journey. Jen Risher\, author of We Need to Talk: A Memoir About Wealth\,” will lead us in a conversation to explore our habits\, beliefs\, and values around money. What did you learn about saving\, spending\, giving when you were growing up? What were your parents’ attitudes about money? \nMoney and philanthropy can be difficult to discuss. Attributing value to socioeconomic status makes talking about money\, and wealth especially\, taboo. It is our silence that sanctifies us from examining our relationship with money and keeps the status quo in place. Here is a chance to break that silence\, do some learning\, and build intimacy through conversation. This event is for folks with all different relationships with money\, so if you’re curious and want to dive in together\, we encourage you to join us. \nFor preparation\, we ask that you purchase and read Jen’s book and come prepared to share some of what you learned about money as a child. We will also talk about giving and discuss our philanthropic journeys. You can purchase We Need to Talk here! \nJennifer Risher is an author\, speaker\, philanthropist\, and investor on a mission to move money out of the taboo category and help us have much-needed conversations. Her book\, “We Need to Talk: A Memoir About Wealth\,” explores the impact of wealth on identity and relationships. In sharing her story\, Jennifer aims to validate the emotional complexities of money and help those with wealth move out of guilt\, shame\, or a desire to keep money hidden and into meaning\, joy\, and purpose. In 2020\, Jennifer and her husband\, David\, launched #HalfMyDAF to inspire more charitable giving. Over the last four years\, they’ve contributed millions in matching funds\, rallied donors and nonprofits\, and created a community that has moved over $50 million to nonprofits. \nClick here to register for Your Money Story!\nThis is a virtual learning opportunity on Zoom on April 18th at 12:00PM. Please direct questions to programs@wawomensfdn.org .

SUMMARY:How to Conduct 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 2024 Collective Grants Committee. Our focus will be to prepare for the Conversations Phase of the grant process.\n\n\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.\nClick here to register for How to Conduct Conversations!\nThis virtual training is taking place on Tuesday\, April 16th\, at 12PM.

SUMMARY:Leading Beyond the Tyranny of Productivity (MEMBERS ONLY)
DESCRIPTION:Many of our beliefs about work\, identity\, power\, and leadership come from an outdated Industrial Age paradigm of productivity. How do we make—and sustain—a personal and professional shift away from toxic productivity\, and toward sustainable\, humane ways of living and working? \nOur educational offerings are designed to deepen our knowledge of each year’s priorities and our collective understanding of how the world works. Our goal in offering this workshop to members is to continue reimagining new ways of working together\, with our wider nonprofit community\, now and in the future as we build WaWF culture. During our grant process we practice trust-based philanthropy\, and we hope this learning opportunity will help us build trust as a community\, working to cultivate a community of creativity and care. \nIn this two hour online workshop\, Kris McRea of McRea Consulting and Coaching and Sara Saltee of The Saltee Academy trace today’s burnout and trauma to its roots in a paradigm of productivity that no longer matches the nature of most human work and offer a roadmap toward a healthier approach to productivity that values our humanity\, emphasizing relationships\, care and creativity. \nClick here to register for Leading Beyond the Tyranny of Productivity!\nThis virtual members-only learning experience is Tuesday\, March 26th from 11:30AM to 1:00PM. Please email programs@wawomensfdn.org with any questions.

SUMMARY:2023 PopUP! for Women & Girls! (PAID EVENT - OPEN TO ALL)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fast-paced\, fun-filled evening of collective giving where together we’ll learn about\, pitch and select our 2023 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: Early Childhood Education\, Reproductive Justice & Maternal Health\, and Food Security & Sovereignty. 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 Thursday\, December 7th. Everyone is welcome. Tickets are $50 each. Festive drinks and heavy appetizers are included with ticket purchase.   \nThis year we are thrilled to offer gallery access to the National Nordic Museum.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Numbers: Investing in Women\, Girls and Gender Equity (OPEN TO ALL)
DESCRIPTION:Data from around the world confirms that investing in women and girls is one of the best strategies to accelerate progress on our greatest issues from climate change\, to poverty\, to access to health and education. Unfortunately\, giving trends show that the majority of giving (nearly 90%) continues to go to the top 5% of large nonprofits\, and that less than 2% is invested in organizations that specifically focus ion women and girls. But this trend could finally change as trillions are expected to pass into women’s hands over the next decade in what financial analysts are calling\, “The Great Wealth Transfer.” \nJoin us on October 31st at 12:00PM to learn about the landscape for funding women and girls\, including the data on giving trends and disparities in funding\, and what this means for the issues we care most about. With an emphasis on the WaWF’s 2023 grant priority areas\, speakers will talk about what is needed\, what is at stake\, organizations and collectives working on this nationally and globally\, and to share inspiring stories and examples of where donors can give to make the greatest impact. \nSpeakers: \n\nRadha Friedman\, author of Fundraising Without Burnout: Radically Reimagining Philanthropy to Transform Your Impact (Moderator)\nRozella Kennedy\, Director of Impact and Equity\, Camber Collective\nAngelika Arutyunova\, Co-Founder of CEECCNA Collaborative Fund\n\n​This event will kick-off the work of the 2023 Women & Girls Grant Committee. We hope everyone will join us on December 7th for the PopUp for Women & Girls to put their commitment to funding women & girls into action!  \nThis virtual learning event is open to all and will be recorded. Email programs@wawomensfdn.org with any questions!  \nRegister here for Beyond the Numbers: Investing in Women & Girls!
