Women have a history of being philanthropic and recent research indicates that women give more than men—and are happier when giving more.
According to Philanthropy Consultant Michele Rebeor, the data shows a massive wealth transfer where women will inherit 70% of the intergenerational wealth. What’s more, these women are more likely to put that money into philanthropic endeavors. Because of this (and more), it’s crucial that nonprofits and donor development professionals understand women’s transformative role in philanthropic opportunities and how to engage them.
