妇女和女孩组织出现在每个非营利性子部门中，涵盖教育，健康，环境和艺术的原因。在过去的五年中，诸如妇女游行和#MeToo运动之类的事件引起了与性别相关问题的关注，例如生殖权利，性骚扰和虐待。最近，在美国和世界各地，共同199的大流行，种族正义运动和气候危机强调了不平等，包括性别差异。Despite increased public attention to these issues, the Women & Girls Index (WGI), created by the Women’s Philanthropy Institute (WPI) in 2019 and updated in 2020, revealed that philanthropic support for organizations dedicated to women and girls makes up a small fraction of overall charitable giving.

The WGI is the only systematically generated, comprehensive Index of charitable organizations dedicated to women and girls in the U.S. WPI created the Index to provide philanthropy researchers and practitioners, as well as policymakers and the general public, with a deeper understanding of the landscape of women’s and girls’ organizations, particularly the level of contributions they receive from individuals, foundations, and corporations. The first WGI report provided a snapshot of this information for 2016; the 2020 report built on this groundbreaking research by adding data from 2012 to 2015 and 2017. The present report expands this longitudinal picture to include 2018, the most recent year for which finalized IRS data on charitable organizations is available.

关键发现：

  1. 对妇女和女子组织的慈善支持在2018年超过了80亿美元，代表了整体慈善捐赠的一小部分（1.9％）。
  2. 妇女和女子组织的增长速度比其他慈善组织遵循收入和支出等财务措施，这表明她们正在成为非营利性子行业。
  3. While philanthropic support for women’s and girls’ organizations increased across the board, particular types of organizations within this subsector— such as those focused on the environment (37.1%) and civil rights and advocacy (32.3%)—experienced especially strong year-over-year growth from 2017 to 2018.
