Join us to mark the virtual debut of a groundbreaking new fund that puts women at the forefront of building their own economic resilience and well-being, and that of their communities.
The Resilience Fund for Women in Global Value Chains aims to catalyze a new era of corporate investment and philanthropy—through pooled funding, democratized processes, and women-led change.
Hear from speakers across the partnership, including corporate and foundation partners, women’s funds, feminist leaders, and civil society partners.
The Fund is a joint initiative of BSR, the United Nations Foundation’s Universal Access Project, and Women Win/Win-Win Strategies in collaboration with founding corporate partners and investors Gap Foundation, PVH Foundation, H&M Foundation, and The VF Foundation.
