In this podcast episode, Amy-Willard Cross discusses Gender Fair’s newest analysis tool – rating nonprofit organizations on gender equality!
She actually came up with this after we had her on the Grant Writing Podcast in 2023 as Gender Fair only analyzed mostly for-profits and government agencies at that time.
If you want to put your nonprofit organization through the analysis tool so you can see how you score (and if needed how to increase equality), be sure to visit Gender Fair’s site and newest tool!
Plus, Gender Fair has an amazing app, so you can make sure that products you buy have gender equity top scores!
