I saw a conversation on Instagram with the Binaifer Nowrojee, the president of Open Society Foundations, and something that stood out was how directly accountability was addressed.

The president explicitly said that philanthropy should be held accountable to its stated goals.

I obviously agree with that, but the reason it caught my attention was primarily because large foundations don’t always speak that openly about scrutiny, even though they operate at a huge scale globally.

I'm happy to see accountability being a main concern for these larger organizations like Open Society Foundations.

Curious to know what people here think, especially those who have worked in or around philanthropic organizations.

At Women Deliver 2026, Open Society Foundations President Binaifer Nowrojee spoke about being inspired by feminists working on the frontlines of gender justice, often in incredibly difficult circumstances.

She pointed to the impact of grassroots movements and women helping shape more inclusive approaches to tech, adding that thousands of leaders are already shifting power in meaningful ways.

Where are you seeing the most progress for women’s leadership right now?
