Our Public Spirit

Giving Circle Members

Our Public Spirit (OPS) is a project of the Boston Women’s Fund in collaboration with Haymarket People’s Fund and the Women’s Theological Center (WTC).  OPS recognizes and honors the giving traditions of women of color, while promoting social justice philanthropy within communities of color.  Through OPS, Boston Women’s Fund works to continue diversifying the base of donors who fund social and economic justice efforts.

In February, 2009 giving Circle members met with Michele Courton Brown, author, philanthropist and OPS Advisory Committee member, at the home of Ethel Shepard.
