How can lessons from grantmaking with a gender lens be applied more broadly? The Washington Area Women’s Foundation is using a gender lens in grantmaking to fill an important need in their community and help their Grantee Partners achieve enhanced outcomes. They spoke with us about how they are using their unique position and influence to drive innovation through their pioneering two-generation work with middle-school girls and their female caregivers, and how to apply what they’ve learned through this experience in one’s own work.
