How can women donors and philanthropists can drive social change?

Written By Fiona McKay

We were featured in a detailed opinion piece and interviewed by Kiersten Marek, Editor of Philanthropy Women.

Fiona McKay, Lightbulb’s founder, was asked many critical questions about her investment research and thoughts on :

  • How must the financial and investment sectors evolve to prioritise social change as well as profit?

  • Are men in finance really ready to hear female dissenting voices?

  • Why we must invite female leadership talent from other sectors to join the investment and financial professions?

  • Why women in Ultra High Net Worth Families must assert more financial control in capital deployment?

  • Fiona’s view of the post pandemic and philanthropic world for women.
