What a great way to kick off 2024! Congratulations to our members Caitlin Heising, Theresa Preston-Werner, and Susan Wojcicki. Wishing you - and everyone here - a very happy new year!

A decade ago, Maverick Collective by PSI embarked on a mission—to create a community of women philanthropists ready to roll up their sleeves and bring a burst of innovation to the international organization that is PSI. As we prepare to welcome 2024, we reflect on the lessons we have learned from our members, partners, and the thought-leaders we admire to shift and expand our definition of what it means to be maverick for the next 10 years and beyond.

"The patriarchy is embedded in philanthropy as much as every other system so women have often been left out of leadership in philanthropy.

A women’s funding initiative is about more than funding causes which others won’t. It’s about a different way of seeing women in philanthropy. Rena Greifinger, managing director of Maverick Collective, and director for Philanthropy at Population Services International talks to Charles Keidan about advancing gender equity and challenging the status quo.
