    (2017-03-15) Women's Philanthropy, Institute
    We recognize and celebrate a true cultivator and gardener of women’s philanthropy – an advocate whose career spans more than four decades and she’s not finished yet. It is an honor to award Tracy Gary the 2017 Shaw-Hardy Taylor Achievement Award for moving women’s philanthropy forward. Tracy has been called the “Janie Appleseed” of women’s philanthropy. She wakes up each morning as an activist and in the spirit of our symposium theme, she DREAMS, she DARES, and she DOES.

    A Brief Introduction to Women and Philanthropy
    (2012) Women's Philanthropy Institute
    In the past thirty years women’s philanthropy has emerged as a distinct movement using innovative and creative ideas to improve local, national and global communities. Women are engaged in philanthropy from many perspectives – as donors, as professionals, as fundraisers, as nonprofit leaders – in both formal and informal networks. This glossary identifies the kaleidoscope of approaches - audiences, methods, process, and purpose – and celebrates the characteristic common to all approaches within the women’s philanthropic movement – many women working across the globe to improve the lives of others and to make a difference in their communities.

    Giving by and for Women
    (2018-01-30) O'Connor, Heather; Mesch, Debra; Osili, Una; Pactor, Andrea; Ackerman, Jacqueline; Dale, Elizabeth; Small, Diana
    In an effort to understand who leads philanthropy that benefits women and girls and how these donors are unique, we embarked on a landmark study of high-net-worth women donors. We wanted to deeply understand giving by and for women, and what, in particular, sets these donors apart. We wanted to understand what these donors hope to achieve, and how others—both men and women—might be inspired to make gender equality a focus of their philanthropy.

    How Women & Men Give Around Retirement
    (2018-07-24) Osili, Una; Mesch, Debra; Ackerman, Jacqueline; Pactor, Andrea; Han, Xiao; O'Connor, Heather
    This study is the first known research to examine how retirement affects charitable giving. It looks at single men, single women, and married couples to analyze whether gender differences in giving or volunteering emerge among individuals at retirement. Additionally, it examines how giving changes during a range of years before and after retirement, with the understanding that preparing and undergoing such a life change is a process rather than one moment in time.

    How Women and Men Approach Impact Investing
    (2018-05-22) Osili, Una; Mesch, Debra; Ackerman, Jacqueline; Bergdoll, Jonathan; Preston, Linh; Pactor, Andrea
    The term impact investing evokes widespread interest, but few people have a deep understanding of the topic, and even fewer practice impact investing. What is impact investing? Who uses this investment strategy, and what are their objectives? Impact investing is relatively new and has developed rapidly over the last decade. The term itself was introduced in 2007 when the Rockefeller Foundation convened leaders in the fields of finance, philanthropy, and development, with the aim of building an industry of investing for impact.1 While a great deal has been written about the subject, most of this work comes from the world of finance and asks questions about financial return, comparing impact investing with investing purely for profit. The practice of impact investing is evolving exponentially, in contrast to research on this still-underexplored subject.
