WOMEN IN SOCIAL FINANCE (WISF) is a membership community that fosters connection, advancement and collaboration between individuals identifying as women, with extended experience in the field of social finance in the UK and beyond.At a time when social, racial justice and equity questions are still not fully answered, we are asking: "how can we elevate and engage women in social finance"? We believe this is a moment for extraordinary women in our community, especially racialised and minoritised women, to step forward and take a seat at the table, which has not often been available. If you are an experienced woman with direct or indirect control or influence over capital and you have an active interest in directing finance for social or environmental purposes, there has never been a better moment to join and collaborate with us.We collectively- Raise the visibility of women working in social finance and of WISF itself- Increase insight and knowledge of women in social and sustainable finance with a particular focus on empowering our members through learning, professional and personal development.
