Speaking Engagements Featuring Yolanda F. Johnson

All In, All Rise 2023 Symposium

by WOMEN’S PHILANTHOPY INSTITUTE


Overview

From the Women’s Philanthropy Institute:

What happens when women are active participants in philanthropic work, engaging all the levers available to advance the public good? When we are all in, we all rise in this world. Empowering women to use their wealth and power to uplift others is a cornerstone of the Women’s Philanthropy Institute’s vision. And we know from our research that women access all their resources when engaging in philanthropy—time, talent, treasure, testimony, ties, and trust are all ways women activate generosity.

We invite you to join us as we explore these topics and more at our 2023 Symposium: All In, All Rise. This two-day conference will examine how women’s involvement in philanthropy influences and strengthens communities; encourages greater strategic giving; and builds a more diverse community of engaged citizens.

Our Treasures Define Our Hearts: A Multi-Faith Exploration of Philanthropy

From WPI:

Scripture tells us that where our treasures exist, so do our hearts. This is a common concept in life, but resonates even moreso when related to one's faith. What does this mean for philanthropy and for the role women play in philanthropy in the often patriarchal environments of religion? How do we bring our whole selves and the pillars of our faith to how we give and encourage others to give?
