WaWF is not only changing where the grant money goes, but also who is at the heart of the decision-making process.
This month, the Mirror Stage Podcast features Maria Kolby-Wolfe, the first black woman to lead the Washington Women’s Foundation. Right now, the collective grantmaking organization is undergoing a complete overhaul. WaWF is not only changing where the grant money goes, but also who is at the heart of the decision-making process.
