    All in for Women & Girls: How women’s fund and foundation donors are leading through philanthropy
    (2019-07-23) Dale, Elizabeth J.; Watkins, Betsy; Mesch, Debra; Osili, Una; Bergdoll, Jonathan; Pactor, Andrea; Ackerman, Jacqueline; Skidmore, Tessa
    To date, studies of women’s funds and foundations have been qualitative in nature, and have studied the organizations more than their donors. This study examines, in a comprehensive and quantitative manner, the impact of women’s fund and foundation donors on women’s and girls’ causes. Previous research has shed light on women’s funds and foundations, on giving to women and girls, and on the impact of high-net-worth donors. This report addresses the intersection of these three factors to ask: What unique role do high-net-worth donors to women’s funds and foundations play in catalyzing support for women’s and girls’ causes?

    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.

    Change Agents: The Goals and Impact of Women’s Foundations and Funds
    (2019-12-10) Gillespie, Elizabeth
    This research extends knowledge of women’s foundations and funds in the U.S. following the publication of a landscape scan of these organizations in May 2019. The landscape scan revealed that women’s foundations and funds use philanthropy to empower women, create positive change, and impact women and the broader community. They foster empowerment, change, and impact through grantmaking and by engaging in other activities, including advocacy and collaboration. The landscape scan also found that women’s foundations and funds often apply grantmaking philosophies, such as social change and gender lens philanthropy, and carry out their work through a variety of approaches. This study builds on the landscape scan to better understand how these organizations set goals, measure impact, and take action to advance the causes they care about.
