Bridging Philanthropy & Impact Investing for Women’s Economic Empowerment
How can we move beyond traditional aid and catalyze sustainable, long-term solutions for women and girls in emerging markets and underserved communities? As humanitarian crises grow, it is more urgent than ever to shift from dependency on aid to market-based solutions that drive real economic empowerment and systemic change.
Join Giving Women for an inspiring event on how philanthropy and impact investing can work together to build lasting change. Featuring ShEquity, a gender-lens investment firm dedicated to closing the gender funding gap, we will explore how blended finance can de-risk investments, create self-sustaining economic opportunities and drive systemic change.
Expect insights from ShEquity’s founder, impact investor, and female entrepreneur, Pauline Koelbl, showcasing how strategic funding models can transform communities and empower women as leaders in Africa’s green economy.
Our Managing Director, Kathleen Holmlund, will also be attending along with some members of the Giving Women Executive Committee.

With over two decades of experience in international affairs, venture philanthropy, ecosystem building and gender-lens investing, Pauline is a recognized leader in fostering innovation and economically empowering women entrepreneurs across the continent.
