"The Equity through Development program was a game changer in how I approached fundraising. Women of color in development face unique challenges, and it was rewarding to be surrounded by my peers and allies in the field, who provided me with practical tools, inspiration, and a network to overcome any challenges I faced." - Aries Jordan, 2023 Cohort

At YWCA, we know women of color bring powerful, unique perspectives to philanthropy and development. We're here to empower women like Aries with the mentorship, skills and community they need to lead in the sector and change the face of philanthropy in Western NY.
