Women Give 2019

Abstract

In Women Give 2019: Gender and Giving Across Communities of Color, the Women’s Philanthropy Institute seeks to understand how generosity links women across racial lines. While some research has examined race and charitable giving, this study is the frst to explore the intersection of race, gender, and giving.1 The study builds on a growing body of research that examines how women and men give. It is now well understood that gender diferences exist in women’s and men’s motivations for and patterns of giving. By focusing on the relationship among race, gender, and philanthropy, this report recognizes the philanthropic eforts of all women and in particular, women in communities of color.
