WOMEN IN SOCIAL FINANCE (WISF) is a membership community that fosters connection, advancement and collaboration between individuals identifying as women, with extended experience in the field of social finance in the UK and beyond. At a time when social, racial justice and equity questions are still not fully answered, we are asking: “how can we elevate and engage women in social finance”? We believe this is a moment for extraordinary women in our community, especially racialised and minoritised women, to step forward and take a seat at the table, which has not often been available. If you are an experienced woman with direct or indirect control or influence over capital and you have an active interest in directing finance for social or environmental purposes, there has never been a better moment to join and collaborate with us. We collectively - Raise the visibility of women working in social finance and of WISF itself - Increase insight and knowledge of women in social and sustainable finance with a particular focus on empowering our members through learning, professional and personal development. We offer bi-monthly meetings, a monthly newsletter and an online platform - Advocate for the control of capital for and by a diverse group of women We have a strong sense of humour, appreciation of expertise and experience, passion for collaboration and supportiveness, and commitment to the field and the impact we all wish to see in the world. Today the group consists of 90+ members who are leading organisations or actively working in mid and senior-level positions. Our membership includes partners, CEOs, investment managers, programme directors, policymakers and consultants across foundations, investment managers, banks, consultancies, non-profits and the public sector. Key areas of our members' expertise include impact investing, inclusive finance, sustainable finance, governance, entrepreneurship and leadership.
