Welcome back to episode 6 of Women in Philanthropy! In this episode, Veronica Bamford-Deane describes the potential of business for good. As a relationship builder between charities and businesses, Veronica talks about how she's engaged businesses in supporting social good. She offers a contemporary look at the tools businesses can use, how charities can see businesses as collaborators, and where businesses might need to focus next. Most importantly, she describes how businesses can create change through simple actions and collaborate successfully with charities through honest conversations.
Share your thoughts on our episode question: What methods can businesses use to achieve social good?
Veronica debates the difference between supporter and donor in our jargon question, sees challenge events as continuing as inspiring trends, and suggests that impact investors need a patient capital advisor as the next needed role.

*******************************
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.
