Women in Philanthropy Strategy session 2023-24 By Women in Philanthropy South Africa (WiPSA)

Location: Bertha House, Mowbray Cape Town

On February 2nd 2023, the Executive Committee of Women in Philanthropy of South Africa met in Cape Town to plan the organization's strategy. It was agreed at the end of 2022, as a newly appointed Chair with four new-incoming committee members, that the association needed a fresh start. It was agreed that WiPSA does not exist for information sharing and that its relevance and impact should be reconsidered. WiPSA is fully committed to being a change agent and adding value in the areas of relevant knowledge, equipping the people they serve through providing opportunities to engage, build trust, provoke and challenge existing systems to effect meaningful change.

The discussion centered on how knowledge, connection and trust can fuel change.

WiPSA resolved to continue creating safe spaces for people to connect and have difficult conversations, as well as to challenge and provoke existing thinking and systems with impact and relevance as an intervention through knowledge.
