Philanthropy Gender Gap -Do men or women give back more?

💡 What if I told you joining a group could cut your risk of dying in half? (Yes, really—if Bob Putnam said it, I believe it.)

Episode 3 is out, and we’re diving into the philanthropy gender gap—plus, I may have just been recruited into the Junior League of Austin.

Courtney and Whitney are persuasive. And now that I’m sold, I like to win. JLA is the 4️⃣th largest Junior League in the world—out of 300+. But we’re Austin. We can do better.

If you're in your 20s or 30s and want to:
✅ Build leadership skills
✅ Be surrounded by a powerhouse network of women
✅ Give back (especially to child welfare programs)

Then think about joining! With an impact like this, why not push Austin even higher?
🧥 $1M+ in coats given away since inception of Coats for Kids
👟 3,000 pairs of shoes for kids last year
🍽️ 1,800 meals on the weekends for students in need

And if you're interested in becoming a leader in the nonprofit or for-profit space, there is no doubt; JLA can benefit you.
🔹 Courtney Dickey took HomeAway public (later acquired by Expedia) and had another successful exit (Dosh, $275M!)—all through her nonprofit connections.
🔹 Whitney Broughton shared how JLA has made her feel more valuable in the workplace—her honesty and vulnerability were inspiring, and we love the confidence and growth.

Huge thanks to Courtney and Whitney for an amazing convo—join us as we escape into The Junior League of Austin! Subscribe on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
