** Celebrating Women's History Month
------------------------------------------------------------

Philanthropy, the vendors and consultants who support philanthropy, and the nonprofits we seek to serve, have majority female workforces. However, as we gaze at the composition of senior leadership teams and boards of directors, it is readily apparent that there is room for growth when it comes to seeing more women and women of color in these leadership roles. Furthermore, as our recent Grants Management Salary Report ([link removed]) reveals, our goal for pay equity and parity is making progress, but not yet achieved.

Though there is much work to do, there is even more to applaud!

PEAK Grantmaking celebrates and thanks all the women in our community, in the sector, and around the world. For Women’s History Month, we join the national recognition of the achievements and indelible influence women have had.

This edition of Weekly Reads focuses on how women are shaping modern philanthropy and working to promote cultures of equity that create positive change within and outside of their organizations.

** Standing in Solidarity with Asian Americans
------------------------------------------------------------

The fatal shootings of eight people in Atlanta on Tuesday night are painful reminders of the anti-Asian hate that has intensified in our country over the past year. As we each process this event, may we be reminded of our collective calling to ensure that this country is a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. As givers and philanthropists, let us be mindful not to inadvertently support hate in any form by supporting organizations that perpetuate racism and shatter marginalized communities.

As we continue to grieve and reflect on the dynamics that undermine and attack our Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, we encourage you to read AAPIP’s resource library ([link removed]) to combat anti-Asian violence as well as the recent Chronicle of Philanthropy op-ed, “As Violence Against Asian Americans Intensifies, the Moment for Philanthropy to Act Is Now.” ([link removed])

** Tell us about your career journey

In each Journal, we make space for anonymous feedback from our community. In preparation for the spring edition – focusing on career journeys in philanthropy – we want to hear how our members have felt supported or blocked in your own personal career growth.

Responses are completely anonymous. We hope you’ll take a few minutes to answer any or all of the three questions!
