All current TAG members are welcome to participate in a learning exchange for women in philanthropytech, by women in philanthropy tech.
The purpose of this peer community is to inspire, empower, and connect with fellow women over the challenges and opportunities in the field of philanthropy tech.

August Meeting: Bridging Tech & Trust in Philanthropy
Join us for a dynamic peer gathering for women in philanthropy tech and program roles where we tackle the gap head-on: IT staff may hold grantmaking responsibilities without the program design knowledge, and program teams develop powerful initiatives but may need tech fluency to vet tech-for-good grant applications and surface mission-critical insights. Through interactive polls and breakout discussions, you’ll work on opportunities to close knowledge gaps between IT and program teams, unearth practical collaboration strategies, and leave equipped with tools to begin turning shared insights into real-world impact. Let’s build the bridge between grantmaking tech literacy and programmatic design—together.
Guest Speakers:
- Chantal Forster, AI Strategist & Independent Advisor at Warren West Advisory
- Donell Hammond, Chief Information Technology Officer at Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation
