About this listen
Christina Gordon’s pivotal “aha moment” surfaced during a college class on at-risk children.
“We discovered research had shown that the strongest variable for success for a high-risk child was maternal education,” Gordon recalls. If women were educated, their “children would have better lives.”
In this episode of the PNC C-Speak podcast, Gordon, CEO and co-founder of the nonprofit Women’s Foundation of Boston, explains how the organization helps under-resourced women and girls statewide.
Gordon says the foundation is “the only large, multiyear funder to women and girls serving nonprofits in our state by pooling dollars from different donors including individuals, corporations and foundations.”
“I love being in the women and girls space, particularly in the economic empowering part of it,” she says.
