How Women Lead was created for women who believe in making a powerful impact in the world. We fearlessly forge ahead where other organizations do not go. Our diverse women leaders tackle issues of equity and impact and band together to collectively make change and support each other to greater success. We impact issues like women’s leadership on corporate boards, in the C-Suite, in film and public office. We support the courageous leaders who build change organizations but lack the means to raise funding and connect with investor networks. How Women Lead offers monthly events and forums designed to address critical issues and innovative ideas, and to offer solutions and collective impact. Our 3000 person network consists of senior leaders who want to contribute to the conversation and take action around women’s leadership. We have two high impact initiatives within How Women Lead focused on funding organizations that are improving our communities: How Women Give A network of philanthropists who collectively provide angel grants and support for organizations solving critical community problems impacting women and girls in marginalized communities. Each philanthropist in our network contributes an annual minimum-giving fee of $1050. Members vote quarterly on charities to receive grants. How Women Invest Seeds angel investments with diverse women founders of for-profit startups focused on transformational change. This program (still in development) has an annual minimum investment fee, with all net proceeds fueling portfolio startups.
