Creating strong external champions to help drive your effort is also a key principle of successful women’s philanthropy. Volunteer leaders will often be bold and fully committed, accelerating your actions and success. It is critical to build an inclusive group of volunteer champions to hear all voices and input. You will also be able to test your compelling “Why” and opportunities with important and diverse group. Finally, your champions can reach into their networks and share with you names of women (and men as allies) that you may not know about but will be critical for additional diverse voices when you are ready to gather stakeholder input.
