There are many questions every funder should be asking about AI.

Here are just a few:
Are communities helping shape these decisions? Whose voices are missing? What data are we relying on? Who benefits? Who bears the costs?


As AI will only continue to shape our communities, our work, and our future, let’s continue the conversation at the Women’s Funding Network Summit.

AI depends on land. Water. Energy. Fiber. Labor. Public policy. Community resources.

Artificial intelligence isn't only digital. It's physical infrastructure.

It is essential that philanthropy understands AI infrastructure.

Explore InfraWatch Power and join us at the Summit to learn why AI infrastructure matters for philanthropy and the communities it serves.

Work. Care. Democracy. Safety. Public infrastructure. Economic opportunity.

These have always been gender justice issues.

And AI is reshaping every one of them.

Artificial intelligence is already shaping labor, knowledge, infrastructure, public resources, and decision-making.

The question isn't whether AI will shape our future. It's whether communities will help shape AI.

What does the field of gender justice philanthropy actually look like right now?

Through our work with members—and through DataWoven—we’re seeing both clarity and complexity:

🫱🏽‍🫲🏾 A deep commitment to racial justice as core to gender justice
🎯 A growing shift toward trust-based and participatory philanthropy
💪🏾 And real strain on the organizations holding this work together

The data tells a story. 📊

But it’s what we do with it—together—that matters.

Our Annual Report, coming this week, reflects not just what we’ve learned, but how we move forward. You can also join us at on April 30th, 2026 to engage and ask questions about "What the Numbers Don't Say: A Conversation about Data, Power, and Funding."

🌟 Exciting Beginnings at Women Deliver! 🌟

We had the immense pleasure of kicking off our time at Women Deliver with an inspiring dinner hosted by the remarkable Kerry Gardner, former Board member of Women's Funding Network and Global Fund for Women , and a valued member of Women Moving Millions.

This evening was a beautiful reminder of how feminist philanthropy serves as a catalyst for cross-pollination across movements. Kerry's insights and experiences illuminated the importance of partnership and collaboration as we navigate the complexities of gender equity across hemispheres.

We are truly grateful for her generosity in hosting us, and we look forward to forging deeper relationships with the extraordinary initiatives unfolding in the Pacific, all viewed through a gender lens.

Cheers to empowering dialogues and impactful collaborations ahead! 💪🌏
