Join OWIG on September 1 for a lunch and learn on women-led philanthropy with Sophia Fifner! Box lunches from Katzinger's Deli will be provided, and attendees must register at https://conta.cc/3JVNeOO by Friday, August 26.

Sophia helps women and organizations amplify their purpose through philanthropy, and she has nearly 15 years of experience in corporate affairs, philanthropy, and public policy. Sophia started her career on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., and currently serves as the Executive Director of the NiSource Charitable Foundation at NiSource, one of the largest natural gas companies in the United States.

In 2022, Sophia founded Brave Philanthropist, a platform that revolutionizes philanthropy for women and girls by amplifying, strengthening, and democratizing giving.

With less than 2% of philanthropic funds supporting women’s and girls’ nonprofit organizations, the company aims to disrupt philanthropy by changing the face of philanthropy, expanding access and resources for giving, and explicitly using the collective power of all women to do more good that matters.

Sophia graduated with a bachelor’s degree in communication from Miami University and a master’s in communications and marketing from Franklin University. You can find her on Instagram and Twitter @sophiafifner.
