Women in Development of Greater Boston

Since its founding in 1980 by a small group of development professionals, WID has matured into a vital organization approaching 1000 members.

Our mission is to promote and support the advancement of women in the development profession, and our goal is as important today as it was to the six women around the table nearly 40 years ago. Today it is one of the largest organizations of advancement professionals in Massachusetts. Members help one another develop and improve professional skills, share information about employment opportunities, and foster a climate which promotes professional achievement.

Join in Development of Greater Boston for our Spring 2026 Annual Meeting & Breakfast — an inspiring morning of networking, reflection, and candid conversation on building meaningful careers in fundraising.

This year’s program, Beyond the Bio: Candid Conversations on Career Cultivation, brings together longtime fundraising leader Libby Roberts of Lindauer and Jessica Garcia of Boston Harbor Now to explore the professional pivots, reinventions, challenges, and moments of growth that shape our careers beyond what’s written on a resume.

Whether you’re early in your development journey or a seasoned leader, this is an opportunity to connect with fellow women in philanthropy, gain perspective, and leave inspired for your next chapter.

DAFs are changing the fundraising landscape — and this room was ready for the conversation. ✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us for DAFs Unlocked, an engaging and insightful conversation on donor-advised funds and the evolving landscape of philanthropy.
From practical strategies on identifying, stewarding, and soliciting DAF donors to thoughtful questions and shared experiences, the energy in the room reflected the strength and generosity of the WIDGB community.

We’re grateful to our guest speaker Myrna Ghorayeb from CCS Fundraising our Program Committee, and all who attended — from new members to longtime participants — for helping create a welcoming and dynamic space.

Here’s to continuing to learn, connect, and grow together. We look forward to seeing you at upcoming WIDGB programs! 💚

🏃‍♀️ WIDGB Members on the Move! 💚 With Marathon Monday just around the corner, we’re proud to celebrate members of our community getting ready to hit the course — including Jennifer Johnson, Executive Director of Gaining Ground and a dedicated WIDGB member for over a decade.

From serving on our Membership Committee to hosting MetroWest Regional Meet Ups, Jennifer embodies the spirit of connection that defines WIDGB.

As she prepares for her 14th marathon, Jennifer shares:

“Running brings me joy, relieves stress, and builds community.”

🏃‍♀️ WIDGB Members on the Move! 💚

We’re proud to celebrate Heather Kispert Hagerty, a longtime member of the WIDGB community, as next week she takes on the Boston Marathon for an impressive 29th year!

Running as part of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Marathon Challenge team, Heather has raised more than $250,000 over the years to support cancer research and patient care — an extraordinary testament to her dedication and impact.

A former WIDGB president and board member, Heather continues to inspire our community through her leadership, commitment, and generosity.
