What does FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders do?

FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders e. V. is a non-profit association registered in Germany and operating worldwide. In cooperation with civil society organizations, FAIR SHARE seeks to develop solutions to achieve a representative proportion of women in leadership - a "fair share" - in the civil society sector. To this end, FAIR SHARE annually measures and publishes the number of women in leadership positions in the largest civil society organizations and advocates for a new leadership and organizational culture.

Why have we awarded a grant to FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders?

NGOs and foundations employ around 70% women, but only around 33% of executive positions in management and supervisory bodies are currently held by women. Thus, German civil society, like politics and business, is characterized by an imbalance at the leadership level. It is our concern to overcome this situation together with FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders and other civil society organizations.

What have we achieved together?

The object of the grant is the development of the systemic organizational structure of FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders. This is intended to further develop the organization's strategy, expand its communication and extend its network in order to jointly advance the issues of gender equality and innovative organizational development and to test new forms of leadership.
