Women Give 2010 - Part I

Abstract

A growing body of research on charitable giving trends shows that women play a distinct and powerful role in philanthropy. The findings that tend to receive the most attention, however, focus on increased giving by affluent women. This creates a narrow understanding of giving by women, which this report seeks to broaden by providing a richer and more accurate analysis, and by answering the question, "Are there differences in philanthropic giving between men and women – across income levels?"
