Only 3.3 percent of all nonprofits in the United States are dedicated to helping women and girls, according to a new study. Those organization received $6.3 billion from individuals, foundations, and corporations in 2016, or about 1.6 percent of all charitable giving that year.
Of that amount, the greatest share, $1.2 billion, went to nonprofits dedicated to women’s and girls’ general health. Reproductive health and family planning followed, with $1 billion in donations.
The study by the Women’s Philanthropy Institute, titled Women & Girls Index: Measuring Giving to Women’s and Girls’ Causes, identified 45,000 U.S. nonprofits that are dedicated to women and girls.
