Feminist Philanthropy
The Trust Collective has been a three-year collaborative learning journey to advance gender equality, involving more than 50 women philanthropists and women-led and/or women-serving charitable organizations.
A first-of-its-kind campaign for Toronto Foundation, the idea was to share power between philanthropists and charitable leaders to address the issues faced by women and girls in our city and beyond—and reimagine what women-led philanthropy can look like.
The program launched in 2019 and wrapped up in fall 2022. To see a list of all participating funds and read reflections from members on our journey together click here.
