Research that grows women’s philanthropy
To tackle challenges large and small, our world needs more strategic philanthropy. Women can lead this charge, harnessing their growing wealth and influence to create a more just, inclusive, and healthy society.
To unlock the full potential of women’s philanthropy, we must understand how gender shapes giving behavior. To build a powerful and diverse force of female philanthropists, we need to understand more about what drives women to give.
We also study giving to women and girls, uncovering how little philanthropic support reaches these causes each year and raising awareness of the opportunity to invest in their impact.
The Women’s Philanthropy Institute exists for that reason: to conduct, curate, and disseminate research that grows women’s philanthropy and informs giving to women and girls organizations.
