Welcome back to episode 5 of Women in Philanthropy! In this episode, Anna Bruni Sabhaney shares her journey moving between civil engineering and the nonprofit sector. She prioritised her learning and the voices of those closest to the issue. In launching The Confluencers, Anna aims to help nonprofit founders connect with funders by shifting traditional funding power dynamics. She describes the elements of engineering which have helped her make the transition to the nonprofit sector and examples of funding agreements which could better help align all stakeholders.
Anna describes how admin/project costs are the worst jargon, how flexible funding is an inspiring trend, and how complex system communicators might advance the philanthropic sector.

*******************************
Women in Philanthropy is a podcast by and for women working in the giving and social impact sector. Fundraisers, grantmakers, advisors. You can't always see behind the scenes in giving, which means you can't see who enables this giving. This podcast hopes to connect women across the sector and borders. It seeks to amplify women's experiences working in philanthropy, which have too often been overlooked in our research and histories.
We look forward to bringing you ~15-minute episodes, connecting you with amazing women and hearing the stories of their philanthropic work.
