Where would you donate billions? 👇🏼 📩 Comment MELANIE below to get my full story on Melanie’s founder journey In 2011, a 19-year-old design student in Perth couldn’t figure out why making a yearbook page took hours of clunky software. So she built something better, and after 100+ rejected pitches, she got funding. That company became Canva. Today it’s valued in the tens of billions, and Melanie Perkins is one of the most successful self-made founders — man or woman — in tech history. Here’s the part most people miss: in 2021, Melanie and her husband/co-founder Cliff Obrecht signed the Giving Pledge, committing to give away more than 80% of their wealth. Last year, they gave $100M to GiveDirectly, the largest single gift in that org’s history, bringing their total giving to $150M and counting. And it’s not a coincidence a woman is leading the way. Research shows women are up to 40% more likely to donate than men, and give more consistently across their lifetime. Wealth built by women tends to circle back to the world faster. Melanie didn’t just build a company. She’s proving what founders do with success once they have it. 📩 Comment MELANIE and I’ll send you her full founder story. 🏷️ Melanie Perkins, Canva, women founders, female founder, Giving Pledge, philanthropy, women in tech, founder story, billion dollar energy, women who give

Gloria Steinem died this week at 92, leaving behind one of the greatest legacies of all time. 📩 Send this to a woman who needs to see it. Most of the coverage will call her a feminist icon. She was also part of why you can hold a line of credit in your own name.
 → 1974: a credit card, a mortgage, a business loan without a husband’s signature
→ 1978: legal protection from being fired for being pregnant
→ 1988: a business loan without a male relative cosigning
→ The Ms. Foundation: one of the first engines built to actually fund women’s work
 None of that was inevitable. It was organized.
 Her own words: “It is more rewarding to watch money change the world than watch it accumulate.”
 And that she did.
 Her foundation asked for gifts instead of flowers.
 Rest in peace, Gloria. 1934 to 2026.

Do you think women making more money will solve the world’s problems? My take: Women making more money isn’t just a nice idea, it’s how we fix climate change and world hunger. @MelanieCanva just donated $13 billion. Let that sink in. MacKenzie Scott gave away 40% of her fortune, $26.3 billion. Jeff Bezos gave away 1.7%, $4.7 billion, and bought a $500 million yacht. @MelindaGates gave $502 million to their shared foundation in 2024. Bill gave $104.7 million. She also forced another $8 billion out of him in the divorce, earmarked for women and girls. He still owns a $183 million mansion and a private island. And this isn’t just divorce and inheritance. Melanie Perkins got rejected by 100 VCs, built @Canva to $42 billion, and already promised away 80% of it. Daniela Amodei co-founded Anthropic from nothing and pledged 80% of her wealth too, worth $6 billion. @SaraBlakely started Spanx with $5,000 and no investors. The day she cashed out, she gave every employee $10,000 and two first-class tickets. First self-made female billionaire to sign the Giving Pledge. @EmmaGrede co-founded @Skims and Good American with nothing but grit, now worth $405 million, and she’s just getting started. Female billionaires are 4x more likely to spend their time on charity than male billionaires. Btw I’m @Jennystojkovic, a $23M investor, and this is exactly why I’ve built my career backing women founders. Follow for more on how women build wealth.

What will you remember most about Dolly Parton? She grew up dirt poor in a one room cabin and became one of the most successful entertainers in history. But her greatest legacy may exist beyond music. Dolly lived with endometriosis and tried for years to have children, but was never able to conceive. She later said she believed all children were meant to be hers. So she found another way to become a mother to millions. In 1995, she created the Imagination Library in honor of her father, who could not read or write. By the end of 2025, the program had gifted more than 304 million free books to children around the world. She also gave millions to education, disaster relief, health care, and scientific research. Dolly Parton showed us that success is not only about what you build. It is about how many people you lift along the way. Rest in peace, Dolly. Your songs and generosity will live on. 🤍 Share this with someone who grew up with her music.
