Grant Writing & Funding Does Gender Fairness Exist in Your Nonprofit?
Amy Cross joins us to unpack the realities of gender equity in the nonprofit sector and challenge the assumption that a female-dominated industry automatically ensures fairness. We explore how organizations can intentionally use funding to support equity, what a Gender Fair Assessment looks like, and why data and transparency—especially around pay—are critical to progress.
Amy also shares insights on workplace priorities, policies nonprofits should evaluate, the role of vendors in advancing equity, and how broader movements for economic power and gender fairness are shaping the future of the sector.
