Breaking Money Silence

#BreaktheBias Episode 149 Today is International Women’s Day! To celebrate, I interviewed my colleague and friend, Meg Smith about her work as the Director of the Vermont Women’s Fund. While her work is specific to Vermont, the initiatives to #breakthebias and achieve gender parity are applicable around the nation. The Vermont Women's Fund, a component fund of the Vermont Community Foundation, was established in 1994 as an enduring resource for Vermont women and girls. The Fund remains the first philanthropic resource in the state dedicated exclusively to this mission. A council of women from around Vermont advises the Fund and participates in its grantmaking, fundraising, and leadership work. As Director, Meg is helping to improve the future for young women and girls using her community organizing, marketing, and fundraising skills.
