Just 1.8 percent of giving goes to NPOs for women, girls |
|
by Paul Clolery, contributor, The NonProfit Times
Nonprofits benefiting women and girls in the United States received $8.8 billion in charitable giving in 2020 — a 9.2 percent increase compared to 2019. While that sounds like a lot of money, it was less than the 11.3 percent growth in overall charitable giving during 2020, according to Giving USA data, and represented just 1.8 percent of all giving in the U.S that year.
That’s part of new data from Women’s Philanthropy Institute at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. The fifth annual Women & Girls Index (WGI) data shows that while giving to women and girls grew during the peak of the global COVID-19 infection, the pandemic disproportionately impacted women in numerous ways.
The WGI tracks data on charitable organizations dedicated to women and girls in the U.S., along with the amount of philanthropic support they receive from individuals, foundations, and corporations. The new report adds information from 2020, expanding the data from 2012 to 2020.
“The year 2020 was marked by upheaval across all areas of life, and philanthropy — especially giving to women and girls — was no exception,” said Jeannie Sager, director of the Women’s Philanthropy Institute. “The pandemic erased progress that had been made toward gender equity, and women and girls will need additional resources to continue to make gains.”

There is a growing need for companies to re-evaluate their hiring practices when it comes to ensuring candidates have the proper skills and aptitude for the role. Traditionally, hiring processes primarily included reviewing the candidate’s resume, previous experience, and education to help determine if that candidate is a good fit.
Today, more employers are looking to evaluate candidates based on their skills, abilities, and potential in addition to their work history. This new perspective will help businesses with:
- Filling talent shortages
- Overcoming skills gaps
- Increasing diversity
- Strengthening internal mobility
- Gaining a more immediate economic impact
There are challenges to incorporating a new skills-based approach into the hiring practice. Companies will need to shift their practices from where candidates are being “screened out” to candidates being “screened in.”
