When Women Give: The Power & Promise of Women's Philanthropy
Event Information
About this event
Join Washington Area Women's Foundation for an important and timely conversation about women's philanthropy.
According to research from the Women’s Philanthropy Institute, more than 45,000 organizations in the United States are dedicated to women and girls, but they only received 1.6% of all charitable donations in 2016. Learn about this and more women's giving trends during the event.
Hear from Grantee Partners and donors, who will bring the research to life by discussing the importance of women's giving today.
