Fundraising is built on principles of equity and justice, yet many of its practices are still shaped by outdated power structures that create barriers for women and marginalised groups. From pay gaps and limited leadership opportunities to donor power dynamics and workplace safety, how can we challenge these inequities and build a profession where everyone thrives?
This interactive discussion will be a space for you to share experiences, exchange ideas, and explore solutions to dismantling patriarchal norms in fundraising.
Together, we will explore:
- The systemic barriers that still exist and how are they affecting fundraisers today.
- How organisations can foster cultures where marginalised voices feel empowered to lead.
- The practical policies, frameworks, and safeguards we can we put in place to create real change.
Join us for an open, solutions-focused conversation that will be about so much more than fixing what’s broken. We will challenge outdate norms and begin to design a future in which fundraising truly reflects its values of equity, inclusion, and justice, challenge—with all of us equipped to be part of the change.
