Grant Writing & Funding

Amy Cross joins us to unpack the realities of gender equity in the nonprofit sector and challenge the assumption that a female-dominated industry automatically ensures fairness. We explore how organizations can intentionally use funding to support equity, what a Gender Fair Assessment looks like, and why data and transparency—especially around pay—are critical to progress. 

Amy also shares insights on workplace priorities, policies nonprofits should evaluate, the role of vendors in advancing equity, and how broader movements for economic power and gender fairness are shaping the future of the sector.

Amy Cross is a leader in advancing gender equity through data-driven strategies and advocacy. She is deeply involved in the Gender Fair movement, which works to promote fairness in workplaces, organizations, and systems by evaluating policies, pay structures, and leadership practices. 

With a background in data journalism and social impact, Amy helps organizations better understand inequities and implement actionable solutions to create more inclusive and equitable environments.
