Gender Lens Philanthropy: The Complete Guide to Promote Gender Equity through Strategic Philanthropy
Thursday, February 6, 2025
| | | | | | | | | | | JFN has launched Gender Lens Philanthropy: The Complete Guide to Promote Gender Equity through Strategic Philanthropy, a practical resource to help funders address gender inequality through high-impact strategies. With insights from global experts and inspiring case studies from Israel and beyond, the guide highlights actionable approaches to challenges in education, health, and employment, demonstrating how applying a gender lens maximizes philanthropic impact. While this guide is focused on the needs of women and girls, JFN acknowledges that gender is not binary and that gender issues affect everyone. Our approach reflects this understanding. Developed by leaders of JFN’s Gender Giving Forum in Israel, it reflects contributions from JFN-affiliated funders with hands-on expertise. For more information, contact Sharon Dwek, who leads the Gender Giving Forum. | | | | |
