Australian Philanthropy - Issue 71: Women & Philanthropy: Giving by and for Women and Girls
From PhilanthropyWiki
|
In this issue we look at the growth in numbers and influence of philanthropic women. In the changing landscape of women’s wealth, now often earned rather than inherited, what motivations and concerns drive their giving choices?
On the other side of the equation, in communities in the developing world, where financial assistance is given to the women of the village, food reaches the table, the children get to school and the whole community benefits. This issue also explores value of supporting women and girls as a way to strengthen society.
