    Sondra's Commitment

    Sondra has successfully presented and consulted with over a hundred organizations and institutions ranging from small community groups, community foundations, and women’s funds to large universities and national organizations.

    Her messages about the importance of women’s philanthropy and how it is changing the way philanthropy is conducted, have reached thousands of development officers, financial institutions, boards and women philanthropists.

    She has consulted with or presented to over forty educational institutions and scores of community organizations to help them establish a women’s giving initiative or a women’s giving circle.
