Thank you for your interest. Event is at capacity.
Time and Location
Sep 10, 2026, 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Foundation House, 124 Old Mill Rd, Greenwich, CT 06831, USA
About the Event
Women continue to lead some of the most transformative work in social impact: bridging finance, philanthropy, policy, and grassroots action. Yet women-led ventures receive just 2% of VC funding and 2 cents of every charitable dollar.
Women in Impact II: Society is Foundation House's second annual convening in our Women in Impact series. Building on our inaugural Climate gathering, this year we turn to the social pillar, exploring how women are building the systems, institutions, and communities we all depend on.
What to Expect
Across a morning of keynotes, panels, and working sessions, we'll explore:
Education & economic mobility
Mental health & community well-being
Housing & community resilience
Inclusive innovation & the future of work
The intersection of climate change and social resilience
Who Should Attend
Investors & Family Offices · Women Founders & Entrepreneurs · Philanthropy & Foundations · NGO & Social Sector Leaders · Policy, Academic & Civic Leaders · Community Builders & Emerging Voices
