In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re proud to spotlight the powerful role women play in shaping the future of philanthropy.
• 91% of women give, compared to 87% of men
• Women volunteer at higher rates
• Women philanthropists are deeply engaged in leadership, collaborative giving, and community impact.
And yet — only 2% of charitable giving goes to organizations that serve women and girls.
That gap matters and together, we can change it.
Join us for #WomenGiveCLT – Virtual, an inspiring lunch-and-learn experience where women (men are welcome to attend) will explore the impact, urgency, and opportunity of investing in nonprofits that uplift women and girls.
In partnership with Junior League of Charlotte and Women’s Impact Fund, two leading collective giving organizations, we’ll dive into:
• Why funding women- and girls-focused nonprofits is critical
• How you can make a difference as a volunteer, leader, or donor
LET’S CLOSE THE GAP and create lasting change.
