There are a growing number of ventures in which these skills are being used in imaginative ways to create and distribute philanthropic wealth. But they are few relative to the social and financial capital available. If the impetus created by these ventures is properly harnessed, it Give and let give could drive the development of a philanthropic capital market as vibrant and diverse as the financial markets they have sprung from. The development of a philanthropic culture within the financial services industry could lead to a more generous and creative national culture of philanthropy in Britain. Give and let give This report assesses current attitudes to philanthropy amongst high net worth individuals in the financial sector, as well as examining some of the philanthropic initiatives that have emerged from the City. We consider the experiences of those Building a culture of philanthropy who have successfully connected the worlds of finance and in the financial services industry philanthropy, in order to see what lessons can be learned to help build a wider philanthropic culture in the industry. We look at the range of individual motivations for getting started in Rob John, Rhodri Davies and Louisa Mitchell philanthropy as well as the means for giving and the methods employed to achieve philanthropic aims. Achieving a cultural shift is an enormous task. In order to engage more financial services professionals in philanthropy, opportunities for emotional encounters must be created and barriers to giving must be broken down.

    WomenCount Leaders in Higher Education 2013 A report by Norma Jarboe OBE Sponsored by Published by WomenCount © November 2013, all rights reserved. www.women-count.org Designed and produced by Gilladvertising.com Key Findings Contents Key findings 1 Forewords 2 Introduction 4 1.0 Governance in Higher Education 5 2.0 Women’s leadership: a cross-sector perspective 10 3.0 The Index 14 4.0 Five talking points on the agenda for change 32 5.0 Biographies of female Chairs 35 6.0 Biographies of female Vice Chancellors 40 Key findings • Almost one-fifth of the boards of governing bodies of HEIs in the UK are considered gender- balanced with 40-60% men or women members. These gender-balanced boards can be found in every Mission Group, in all income quartiles and in all but one region. • In the 166 HEIs in the UK, women are 32% of all governing body members. • Women are less well represented as Chairs and Vice Chancellors than as governing body members. Women chair only 12% of all HEIs in the UK and lead only 17% of them as Vice Chancellors. • Women on boards and advancing women executive leaders are issues in the private, public, HE and third sectors. There is much to be gained from understanding how progress is being made across sectors. • Sourcing female board candidates from across sectors expands the talent pool for everyone and provides important leadership development opportunities for executive women. • Umbrella organisations in the HE sector are grappling with and addressing the issues of women’s leadership representation.
