In a world grappling with the dual crises of climate change and gender inequality, innovative financial mechanisms are emerging as key tools for social change. Among these, with a focused mission to catalyze solutions addressing these intertwined challenges. Launched with a generous $1MM endowment by Suzanne Biegel and Daniel Maskit, the organization leverages a unique investment philosophy that combines a commitment to gender equity with the urgency of climate action.
“I had the honor of working with the women’s funding network and with a number of women’s foundations around the globe. And I really learned from them that when you invest in women, you invest in their families, you invest in their communities, you invest in their countries and you invest in the world.” Jackie VanderBurg, a trustee of Heading for Change explained. The numbers support her lesson.
This investment exemplifies the kind of catalytic impact Heading for Change aims to achieve. By supporting funds and initiatives that prioritize both gender equity and climate solutions, Heading for Change is not only providing essential financial resources but also fostering a more inclusive and sustainable economy. It also highlights the power of targeted financial support in overcoming systemic barriers to equality and sustainability.
