Catherine is producing a movie to raise awareness about the underfunding of women and how you can be a part of the solution. She is on a mission to encourage more women to become angel investors and fund managers, and to accelerate the funding of diverse women across the U.S. and around the globe. Catherine Gray is also the Co-Founder of the She Angels Foundation- that gives grants to female founded nonprofits that are helping women to thrive. 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.

    Invest for Better With Janine Firpo and host Catherine Gray Ep. 485
    Apr 15 2026

    Today on the Invest In Her Podcast, host Catherine Gray talks with Janine Firpo, an accomplished speaker, author, and social entrepreneur who has spent her career working at the intersection of women and their money. From her early days at Apple Computer to leadership roles at Hewlett-Packard, the World Bank, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Janine has consistently driven meaningful impact. In 2017, she pivoted from a 35+ year career in technology and international development to focus on empowering women through investing. She is the author of Activate Your Money: Invest to Grow Your Wealth and Build a Better World and co-founder of Invest for Better, a nonprofit dedicated to mobilizing women to use their financial power for positive change.

    In this episode, Janine and Catherine dive into the critical role women play in reshaping the financial landscape through intentional investing. They discuss how many women are already investing—often unknowingly—but may not realize the power they have to align their money with their values. Janine shares actionable insights on how to "activate" your money, shift from traditional investing mindsets, and build wealth while supporting companies and initiatives that create a better world. The conversation also highlights the importance of education, community, and confidence in helping more women step into investing as a tool for both personal growth and global impact.
