Melinda French Gates recently announced a $1 billion commitment to funding focused on women and girls -- an area of philanthropy that has never topped 2% of overall giving.  Can Gates' three-pronged strategy catalyze a broader shift in the field and push gender lens philanthropy above the 2% threshold?

Join JFN's Gender Lens Philanthropy Peer Network for a program examining Gates' approach and its significance for women in philanthropy, for gender-focused philanthropy, and its implications for funders in the Jewish community.
