Item 2025 Communities of Color Index Report(2025-06-04) Indiana University Lilly Family School of PhilanthropyThe inaugural Communities of Color Index (CCI) is the first systematically generated landscape of charitable organizations in the U.S. specifically focused on serving communities of color. This first report includes giving data from 2012 to 2022, and offers crucial insights into the characteristics of these organizations and trends in philanthropic giving by individuals, foundations, and corporations. Fundraisers and nonprofit leaders can use the CCI to benchmark their organizations and inform fundraising strategies. Donors and grantmakers can leverage the CCI to identify funding patterns and gaps to guide their giving strategies. Additionally, the CCI serves as a resource for scholars and researchers seeking to explore broader trends in philanthropy and charitable giving to communities of color. The CCI is a project of the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy’s Equitable Giving Lab, an initiative of the school that measures charitable giving to historically under-resourced groups.Item Generational Succession in American Giving: Donors Down, Dollars Per Donor Holding Steady But Signs That It Is Starting to Slip(Sage, 2018-10) Rooney, Patrick M.; Wang, Xiaoyun; Ottoni-Wilhelm, Mark; Lilly Family School of PhilanthropyComparing two generations at the same point in their life cycles, four decades apart, indicates that average giving to charitable organizations (not including congregations) by Baby Boom families has remained roughly in line with the level of giving done by the Greatest and Silent generations, but that average giving by GenX and Millennial families is lower. All three generations exhibit the confluence of two divergent trends: lower percentages who give large amounts, but among families who do give large amounts, levels of giving compared with donors in previous generations are similar if not higher. The two divergent trends also characterize giving to religious congregations. Although “dollars per donor holding steady or up” describes Millennial, GenX, and Baby Boom families compared with the Greatest and Silent generations, when the former three generations are compared with each other, there are some indications that average giving among donors is starting to slip.Item The Women & Girls Index 2021: Measuring Giving to Women’s and Girls’ Causes(2021-10-26) Skidmore, Tessa; Bergdoll, Jon; Osili, Una; Ackerman, Jacqueline; Sager, JeannieWomen’s and girls’ organizations appear in every nonproft subsector, spanning causes including education, health, the environment, and the arts. During the past fve years, events like the Women’s March and #MeToo movement have shined a spotlight on gender-related issues such as reproductive rights and sexual harassment and abuse. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic, racial justice movement, and climate crisis have highlighted inequities—including gender disparities—in the United States and around the world. Despite increased public attention to these issues, the Women & Girls Index (WGI), created by the Women’s Philanthropy Institute (WPI) in 2019 and updated in 2020, revealed that philanthropic support for organizations dedicated to women and girls makes up a small fraction of overall charitable giving.
