In 2015, Joy Anderson and Suzanne Biegel documented possibilities for upgrading your due diligence with a gender lens.
In May of 2012, Root Capital and the Calvert Foundation joined a panel moderated by Jackie VanderBrug to discuss their experiences of incorporating a gender lens. Each organization now has a very clear initiative tied to mainstreaming gender lens investing considerations into their broader missions. We invite you to listen to this panel and comment if you like!
We launched the Leaders Shaping Markets initiative in 2012 and began by identifying the initial set of Community of Practice members. This group came together in Berkeley in May of 2012.
In March of 2012, the Calvert Foundation launched its first gender lens investing offerring through the Women Investing in Women Initiative (WIN-WIN).
Joy Anderson spent time with Angela Giacchetti, Associate at the Pipeline Fellowship, for an interview about gender lens investing as part of Pipeline's "Ask our Network" series.
Our work depends on an ever-expanding community of team members, advisors, donors, and other partners who help us demonstrate our theory of change and ultimately achieve our mission. Learn more about how you can become more engaged in our work.
