The women's funding movement has had an incredible influence on how we view philanthropy, and women's movements have been a catalyst for growth within the nonprofit sector, bringing attention to issues that may not have been "mainstream problems."
The new study, Women Give 2010, is the first of its kind to compare philanthropic giving "between men and women across all income levels based on a nationally representative sample."
While the relationship between women and philanthropy has always been a strong one in terms of time, care, and passion, it is now moving to the next level -- financial clout.
