Give to Gain: Gender Equity, Social Impact and the Power of Inclusive Entrepreneurship
In celebration of International Women’s Day (8 March 2026) and its theme “Give to Gain,” Kellogg College and the Skoll Centre invite you to an inspiring conversation exploring how social impact organisations are advancing gender equity while generating broader positive social change.
Give to Gain posterThis timely discussion brings together voices from entrepreneurship research, impact investing and purpose-driven enterprise to examine how giving – of time, capital, expertise and leadership – can drive transformative social outcomes. Our panel will explore how organisations can prioritise gender equity alongside wider sustainability goals, and why such inclusive strategies generate stronger economic outcomes, greater resilience and lasting value.
The conversation will address critical questions facing social impact organisations today: How can we support equity in increasingly challenging times? What does it truly mean to invest in women as founders and leaders? And why are inclusive approaches to entrepreneurship not only fairer, but demonstrably more effective?
Drawing on research, practice and lived experience, speakers will illuminate how generosity of vision, collaboration and commitment unlock innovation, amplify impact and drive meaningful change. Together, we’ll explore how the social entrepreneur’s mindset of “Give to Gain” can widen opportunity, strengthen innovation and contribute to more robust and equitable economies.
Join us for an engaging exchange that connects values to action, and discover how giving creates the foundation for sustainable impact.
