NextGen Philanthropy: You Can Do It!
Tuesday, April 16
6-7 PM ET
Virtual event; open to all mentees, all mentors, program alum, and the public
Counts towards monthly Community Studio requirement for mentees and mentors!
In this studio you will learn about Girls Write Now’s Next-Gen Philanthropy Initiative, entitled The Story Changes Minds. What we have always had to give is our Time, our Stories, and access to our Communities. Money, or the lack thereof, has often prevented us from viewing ourselves through a philanthropic lens.
Our goal is to eradicate the perceived barriers to philanthropy and raise a generation of givers and advocates. Girls Write Now encourages everyone to have greater control over our world and our own destinies.
This month’s challenge is simple: We’re asking every participant to “Take One Action.” Join us to share your ideas and plans to ignite change!
Meet the Facilitator
Chelle Carter-Wilson
Storytelling is in Chelle’s DNA. Chelle (Rochelle)’s imagination is the lens through which she experiences the world. Like many children, life obtruded upon her dreams, and bit by bit, she forgot them. Her stories never forgot her. In the wake of a career as an HR executive, she evolved into perhaps the world’s most reluctant stay-at-home mom. She raised two children, trained a beloved boxer puppy, and in quiet moments, listened to the muse. She returned to writing and hasn’t stopped. A linguaphile and lover of the oxford comma, anything, in the form of a story can engage, inform, and delight. A grateful steward of Girls Write Now’s emerging creatives, she commits to never let any writer ignore a siren’s call.
About Our Next-Gen Philanthropist Committee
Girls Write Now’s Next-Gen Philanthropist Initiative is redefining and REIMAGINING philanthropy through educating and supporting the next generation of leaders. We invite active and alum mentors and mentees along with community members interested in redefining philanthropy to join us on a journey to think and act differently. We hope to launch our own initiative in 2024.
Next-Gen Philanthropy Committee will meet monthly during the 2023-2024 Girls Write Now Collaboratory. Mentors, mentees, alumni, and members of the public are welcome to attend our meetings.
This event is open to:
all mentees, all mentors, program alum and the public
