Women and Girls initiatives only get two percent of charitable giving. In both the for-profit world and the nonprofit world- women are coming up short. Women can join the SheAngelsFoundation.org for a tax-deductible donation- details are on the site- and then once a member – you can enjoy the salons at members homes for free. The salons consist of amazing, accomplished women- and provide complimentary food, drink and entertainment. It is a wonderful sisterhood that helps so many women. We have provided grants the help women of domestic violence get back on their feet, the same for formerly incarcerated women, women veterans and more. Plus, women in Science, Blockchain and more. In her Ted Talk, "Fund Women- Save The World", Catherine talks about why women are underfunded. The people making the decisions in the investment world are typically white men- and because people tend to invest in people they identify with, it is no wonder most of the money goes to men. We need more women angel investors, and more women at the decision-making table in order to change this scenario.

Giving Patients a Voice featuring Dr. Maheen Mausoof Adamson and Catherine Gray, Ep. 508
Today on the Invest In Her Podcast, host Catherine Gray talks with Dr. Maheen Mausoof Adamson, founder and CEO of Soof Solutions. Dr. Adamson is a clinical professor of neurosurgery at Stanford School of Medicine, a research director for a national women veterans center, and a senior scientist at the VA Palo Alto Healthcare System. Originally from Pakistan, she is a neuroscientist, neuromodulation and neuroimaging expert whose work spans traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, depression, and pain. With more than 20 years of experience in research and healthcare leadership, she has authored over 100 publications and is a passionate mentor to emerging scientists, physicians, and entrepreneurs—particularly minority women. In this episode, Dr. Adamson shares how her father's stroke and subsequent loss of speech inspired her to create Soof Solutions, a three-app communication platform that allows patients to express their needs through eye and head movements using familiar devices such as an iPad or iPhone. She and Catherine discuss how this accessible technology could improve communication and quality of life for people affected by stroke, aphasia, multiple sclerosis, developmental conditions, and other challenges that limit speech. Dr. Adamson also explores the connections among brain health, mental health, environment, and social support; her research involving veterans and emerging psychedelic therapies; the growing presence of women in neuroscience; and why experienced researchers need strong networks, commercialization knowledge, and investment to turn promising innovations into solutions that reach the people who need them.
