Listen to this episode
Overview
Tune in for a preview and sneak peek of the We Are For Good Podcast Women of Impact Week presented by Virtuous. Next week we're releasing 5 episodes, each dedicated to celebrating the incredible women making an impact in our world, and how you can take action to harness the power of women to further your causes too.
We are standing in a storied moment. We know women have, and will continue to massively influence the trajectory of philanthropy through their leadership, their gifts, their volunteerism, their empathy and their advocacy. Together, their fire to chase good and generosity is revolutionary and sector-shifting. Truly incredible! This week, we will lift up their inspiring stories and honor the fight toward greater equality in all spaces of our sector.
“We believe that women demonstrate this remarkable promise to influence the nonprofit sector for good.”

Join the Good Community!
The We are for good community
This is a safe place for deeper conversations. While we love this podcast, it is a very one-sided dialogue. It is great for starting conversations, but not continuing them. You can find friends, colleagues, and others to champion alongside. We believe community is everything and we wanted to create a place where people could learn and thrive and grow together (and also have a whole lot of fun).
