On behalf of the National Women's Law Center, Global Fund for Women, and Women’s Funding Network—a group of 130 women's funds, foundations, and gender equity funders and allies who collectively invest more than $1.4 billion annually in gender equity and justice—we invite you to join us for the first-ever Feminist Philanthropy Hill Day with a Capitol Hill Briefing, Feminist Philanthropy: Advancing Gender Equity and Justice in the U.S. and the World on September 12 from 9:00-11:30 am EDT. This briefing is the centerpiece of Feminist Philanthropy Hill Day, an effort that establishes a power base of funders and donors who educate and inspire our nation’s political leaders to take a gender-informed approach to policy in the U.S. and around the world.

What: This two-part briefing will feature national experts discussing domestic policy solutions to improve pay equity, child care, maternal and child health, reproductive rights, and other critical issues facing women, girls, and gender non-conforming people. The second panel will focus on the intersection between gender justice, climate resilience, and U.S. foreign policy.
