- Giving USA 2010 shows that donations from individuals average 75 percent of charitable giving.
- Women often play an important and growing role in household financial decision-making.
- The Million Dollar ListTM, maintained by The Center on Philanthropy, finds steady seven-figure-and up giving by individual women over the past decade.
Taking these facts, plus the increasing earnings and wealth of women, it is clear that women are and will continue to be powerful advocates for nonprofits in the coming years. A new Giving USA Spotlight* reports recent findings about charitable giving by women, summarizes demographic shifts among women’s income and wealth, and suggests ways to engage women more effectively as advocates, volunteers, and donors.
