WHY WOMEN?

Impact Now: When Women Lead exists to support female leaders of for-impact organizations to grow and develop so they can more effectively lead their organizations to make an impact.

Why for-impact organizations?

Organizations with a nonprofit tax identification (i.e., for-impact* organizations), especially small organizations, operate on tight budgets. If these organizations have funds for staff development, it is usually earmarked for specific skill or task-related training. Yet healthy organizations rely on staff who have leadership skills that benefit the entire organization. These include, among others—

  • Communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to delegate
  • Trustworthiness
  • Self-awareness
  • Innovation and change management
