Setbacks have affected women’s and girls’ struggles for equality and equity in recent years, yet the share of total philanthropic support going to women’s and girls’ nonprofits barely covers costs. In fact, research from the Women's Philanthropy at Indiana University (WPI) shows that less than 2% of all charitable gifts in America goes to women’s and girls’ organizations. How can you help morph this drop-in-the-bucket into a bold new funding wave? We suggest you start by giving to WomenStrong International! We help strengthen the capacity of women-led organizations across the globe, working in the areas of girls' education, women's health, economic security, and preventing violence against women and girts.   Donate here: https://lnkd.in/eRddphdS  Women's Philanthropy at Indiana University Women's Funding Network Susan Blaustein Lois Buntz Tara Stone Medina, CFRE

We are celebrating the wonderful women of AFP Houston who continue to Lead From the Future. Here are some fun facts about Women's Philanthropy from our friends at United Way of Kenosha County: 1. Women and girls reinvest an average of 90% of their income in their families, compared to a 30–40% reinvestment rate for men. 2. By 2026, women’s charitable giving would reach $1 trillion annually if women gave at 1.7%. 3. Women are more likely than men to give to charity. Women are more likely to give and give more to every charitable subsector with a few exceptions. 4. Women spend more time than men researching organizations before making charitable giving decisions and place greater importance on hearing the impact of their gift. 5. Women are more likely to volunteer and volunteer more hours than men. AFP Houston also honors the women on its own board of directors, with over 75% of the board comprised of women leaders who serve a variety of nonprofits and partners in our community. These women and the other women in our membership are all dedicated to making Houston a better place. Tag an inspiring woman in your life in the comments below! 

When you join The Uplift Community through your support of a tax-deductible gift, a share, a follow, or signing up for our monthly newsletter, you are a part of something larger. A group of women (and allies) who believe in women. Who support women in their most vulnerable moment - women who being evicted, single mothers who have mustered up the courage to take themselves and their babies away from their abuser; women who have had surgery and lost their employment and are unable to feed their children. You are part of their healing by helping to provide them the direct financial support they receive once their application is approved. 52 women applied for financial assistance in the first 15 days of this month. 🤯 One of the hardest parts of this job is having the deny applications because our monthly funding has been met. This community has the capacity to take action and change that.

Where do all those pads and tampons go, and where did they come from?! Program Coordinator Karen introduces some of the nonprofits we work with to help women in need, and shares how much we rely on individuals and businesses in our community to help us keep our shelves full. Karen works with our volunteers to take great care of those items from the moment we receive them to the moment they reach the women and girls we support.  #dignitymatters #endperiodpoverty #periodpoverty #menstrualcare #menstrualequity #manonprofit #nonprofit
