What Will It Take’s Women & Money Initiative is a platform for action to mobilize people to invest in and fund gender lens and social justice initiatives.  

There are so many serious problems that we face in the world, and it is time for women—and all of us—to move our money and resources in alignment with our values and use money as a transformative force to help create the more equitable, just, sustainable world we envision. Leaders and organizations are ready and eager to come together to build coalitions, think strategically and collaboratively, share resources and tools, and work collectively, and we aim to provide the impetus and conditions for that to take place.

Our Women & Money Initiative strives to provide the tools, resources, and conversations women need to more easily activate their capital as impact investors and social justice givers and to highlight how critical it is for all people to invest with a gender lens and how it best serves social change for our economic, political, and financial systems.  

Produced by Tuti Scott and presented by What Will It Take Movements in partnership with Changemaker Strategies, Women & Money: Making Money Moves That Matter was an inaugural gathering of catalytic leaders and activists in the fields of strategic philanthropy, social entrepreneurship, angel investing, and impact/gender lens investing in Austin, TX on Sept. 16-17, 2019 to build our collective power and craft action plans for mobilizing money with a gender, racial, and economic justice lens. THANK YOU to our all of our leaders, speakers, partners, sponsors, and attendees for making this such a powerful gathering!
