Maverick Collective
Strategic Philanthropy for Girls and Women
A global community of strategic philanthropists each making a seven figure investment over two to three years to pilot an innovative solution for girls and women in the developing world. Their six areas of impact are: Reproductive Health; Non-communicable Diseases; Water, Sanitation and Hygiene; Gender Based Violence; HIV; Maternal and Child Health. PSI created Maverick Collective in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, with the vision and leadership of HRH The Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway and Melinda Gates.
I directed this series of interviews with the founding members to share their initiatives and inspire other women in bringing their intellectual and financial resources to drive change. By the end of this process, I was in absolute awe of their intentions and dedication to serve in such a profound, meaningful and impactful way.
