Shayna Berkowitz and Phyllis Wiener

Shayna and Phyllis embody donor activism in the fullest sense. They make things happen through strategic philanthropy, daily engagement in community work, seeking creative solutions to societal problems and inspiring and challenging others to invest their talents, energy and financial resources in working for justice.

Longtime donors to Headwaters and other progressive organizations, Shayna and Phyllis believe in giving strategically to maximize impact for justice and are consistently asking: How can we be the smartest, most effective in using our money for change?

Mothers of teenagers, Shayna and Phyllis are interested in educating the next generation to become informed donor activists.
