So grateful to this amazing team - Marcia Dawood of The Angel Next Door Podcast, Tiffany Dougherty, Patrice Brickman and Leah Brickman of Inspire Access, seen here following our webinar today on 'Investing Using Philanthropic Capital' ?? It's an absolute joy to be surrounded by brilliant female solidarity, helping me raise funding for MakeLoveNotPorn and MakeLoveNotPorn Academy via donations from DAFs/foundations/grant budgets to non-profit Inspire Access ?? Patrice and Leah started InspireAccess to channel this new form of funding to underrepresented founders with for-profit social impact ventures, but there is still very low awareness that you can donate as quickly and easily to fund us, as you already do with your favorite charities, non-profits and causes. You can donate from your DAF to MLNP here: https://lnkd.in/eUs44t-V
