Do you find yourself questioning whether traditional philanthropic giving is enough these days? Or trying to adjust how to advance your mission while government grants are slashed and purses tighten?

Today there are some exciting fresh ideas on the scene that may give you new ways to think about how to achieve your organization’s goals. Come join the Womenetics’ Global Women’s Initiative (GWI) on Wednesday, September 25th at the Georgia Aquarium to explore Creating Shared Value (CSV). Shared value is a business strategy that weaves social needs into a better business bottom line. Collaboration and public-private partnerships are central to shared value. Joining the GWI discussion are non-profits such as CARE USA, Georgians for a Healthy Future, GirlTank and Heart for Africa that have transitioned from relying on traditional charitable relationships to, instead, creation of partnerships that use the scale and innovation of business to address environmental, economic and community challenges,  (especially the needs of women and children). A goal for this conference is to link local organizations with international corporations to create the win-win scenario: corporate profitability and greater social impact.

The focus of the Global Women’s Initiative is on how women’s leadership can accelerate adoption of CSV to advance sustainability, economic development and access to healthcare. Hear speakers from leading corporations such as, Coca-Cola, Lockheed Martin, Rubicon Global, UBS, Southwire and BD and academic institutions such as Morehouse School of Medicine and Emory University. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to interface directly with senior-level executives, social entrepreneurs, academics and civic leaders who understand that strategic partnerships are the future to making a positive impact on social challenges.
