Measuring giving to women’s and girls’ causes

The Women & Girls Index (WGI) is the only comprehensive index that measures charitable giving to women’s and girls’ causes. The 2020 report offers the first longitudinal look at how philanthropic support for women’s and girls’ organizations has changed in recent years.

The Women & Girls Index 2020: Measuring Giving to Women’s and Girls’ Causes provides empirical data and real-life anecdotes that can help donors, nonprofits and others kickstart action to generate more funding for women and girls.
