This 2009 report by The Foundation Center and Women’s Funding Network provides an overview of the current landscape of philanthropy focused on women and girls, and serves to document the specific role played by women’s funds. The report finds that in recent years funding for women and girls by the broader foundation community has grown at a faster rate than foundation giving on the whole, although as a share of overall foundation giving, it has remained below 7.5 percent for over a decade-and-a-half.
