Welcome to the 10th episode of Women in Philanthropy! In this episode, Kari Chaudhry sheds light on social investment as a powerful tool in the realm of philanthropy. She highlights the social power that comes with the combination of women, wealth and investing. Kari also shares her personal experience as a social impact investor, talking about her journey from the fashion industry to promoting social investment across the Atlantic.
Our wide-ranging conversation touches on the barriers which still exist for women and wealth, how we educate our girls on finance, and company diversity which remains more window-dressing than reality.
Kari discusses the need to rebrand philanthropy, the inspiring trend of social impact investing, and the potential for altruism advisors in the field.

*******************************
Women in Philanthropy is a podcast created by women, for women working in the giving and social impact sector. This includes fundraisers, grantmakers, and advisors. While giving has a significant impact, it is not always visible who is behind the scenes making it possible. This podcast strives to unite women across the sector and beyond borders. It aims to highlight women's experiences in philanthropy, which are often neglected in research and history.
We look forward to bringing you ~15-minute episodes, connecting you with amazing women and hearing the stories of their philanthropic work.
