2) Philanthropae mavens
~ Calling all feminist philanthropic advisors ~
Connect with your Philanthropae sisterhood to have our own online space where we can support each other's work, share events, opportunities, referrals, and recommendations, consult each other about our own enterprises, and help each other laugh, heal, feel, learn, and mobilize as feminist philanthropic advisors. A place to network, and sometimes to not work!
