Abstract: Abstract Integrating a women’s philanthropy initiative into an existing fund development network requires commitment to empowering women, and a concentrated effort on the part of leadership. The secret to success is understanding how women practice philanthropy, dedicating time and resources to the effort, and carving out specific strategies and programs that engage, excite and inspire women donors. While incorporating women’s philanthropy into smaller nonprofits may be challenging with limited staff, communications and technology resources, developing a program is not impossible. Any organization, regardless of size, can build a women’s philanthropy initiative. The first step is to conduct an organizational assessment to examine the resources and challenges within the system, to engage stakeholders and to outline possible program options.
