Participate

Your participation matters. Together, let’s celebrate Suzanne’s remarkable career as a preeminent Catalyst at Large, and make Heading for Change a force for progress, for the good of all. Particularly as the climate and gender finance space is nascent, Heading for Change plays a key role in advancing the why, why now, and how of gender-smart climate finance.

Heading for Change aims to inspire, excite and educate new and experienced investors to align their investment capital with their values, in particular addressing two of the great issues of our time, the climate and biodiversity crisis and gender inequity.

We believe that both; next generation wealth and women’s wealth holders are more ready than ever to activate their portfolios for systemic change.With our combination of a compelling demonstration portfolio showcasing investment opportunities, and a commitment to community, storytelling, and transparency, we seek to unlock new capital and motivate investors to confidently invest at the critical intersection of climate and gender, whether via contributions to Heading for Change or through direct investments.

There are several ways to engage:

Become a Donor Partner

Help us expand our impact. Heading for Change is a Donor Advised Fund at ImpactAssets, and donors can make a gift directly to ImpactAssets with any form of payment. A contribution to Heading for Change is a charitable donation, and may be tax-deductible depending on your country of residence. If you’d like information about Donor Advised Funds, this is a helpful resource.

Growing the Endowment means we can have an even greater effect with our portfolio choices, meet investment minimums, provide more meaningful grants, educate and inspire more individuals, and ensure operating costs are adequately covered for the coming years. We gratefully invite your tax deductible contribution at whatever level is comfortable for you, whether that is $100 or $1MM. 

We are building a vibrant Donor-Partner community where we share insights, learnings from building out the global demonstration portfolio and best practices on how to invest at the nexus of climate and gender. Our commitment is to share experiences and lessons learned in an open-sourced and transparent process, extending Suzanne’s influence as a potent ecosystem builder. Quarterly newsletters, learning circles, sharing reports, tools and resources related to climate-gender investing to celebrate our work together are all planned.

Our commitment to openly sharing our thesis, strategy and criteria enables you to leverage our research and analysis in your own investments and amplify our impact together.
