Background

A fully community-led & driven organization, Women4Good started with 10 women meeting over brunches in San Francisco. Members came from the non-profit, corporate social responsibility and entrepreneurial sectors, all with a goal of advancing their careers in the social impact space.

What We Did

To promote member connections, we hosted networking events in partnership with Kiva, Airbnb, Lyft and other companies. On the professional development side, we hosted panel discussions with women working in the Corporate Social Responsibility sector, and nonprofits making a difference like Planned Parenthood and Samasource. During the pandemic, like many other organizations, we shifted to a virtual approach. We created safe spaces during an uncertain time, facilitating conversations around mental health/resilience, Standing with the Black Community and Standing Against AAPI Hate.

Impact

Women4Good became a space for a conversation in social impact that didn’t exist before. We engaged 127 volunteers in supporting 1700 attendees at our events, and raising over $93K for local non-profits.

“I can't express how valuable it was to hear other women's experiences and thoughts in the breakout rooms. The conversation were really valuable.”

“Thank you for organizing this and opening up this safe space for hard conversations around race and privilege. I truly enjoyed this and look forward to bringing this back to my company, family, and friends…This was very well organized and well-facilitated.”

“Listening to the diverse perspectives of others and realizing that I'm not alone.”
