PHLANTHROPY WEEK 2026: GENDER ECONOMIC EQUITY IN THE CARE ECONOMY PANEL

November 16, 2026 | 3:00 - 5:00 PM | Business Resource and Innovation Center (Parkway Central Library), 1901 Vine St | Free

We're excited to be a part of 2026 PHLanthropy Week, created by Generocity to bring together events, organizations, and conversations that explore how we can strengthen the systems that support people and communities across our city.

On Nov. 16 at 3 PM, we're organizing a panel discussion with our GEEP grantee partners for a discussion about how philanthropy can embed gender equity into their mindsets, culture and practices to create a stronger and more liberatory care economy that works for everyone.

More About GEEP The Gender Economic Equity Program (GEEP) was launched in 2025 by WOMEN'S WAY to support organizations working in the care economy, one of the most essential yet underfunded pillars of our society. This includes child care, elder care, health care, domestic work, disability care, and more. We know that the care economy relies disproportionately on women and other people of marginalized genders to perform both under paid and unpaid care work. This imbalance is a key driver of gender inequity, as the market-based care economy continues to be a site of extraction and exploitation.
