Feminist Majority Foundation, vol. The gender gap in charitable giving is alive and well several years after the Feminist Majority Foundation first issued its report, Empowering Women in Philanthropy.
Most people have the impression that charities serve males and females on an equal basis.
In reality, programs for boys and men often receive much more funding than those for girls and women. Perhaps the most dramatic impact of funding bias is in medical research, where the nation's largest studies have virtually left women out. A key reason this sex bias is so pervasive is that funding decision-making bodies, foundation boards, lack women. Target donations for women's programs. Rather than give a general gift to a university, for example.
