Women and girls make up more than half of the U.S. population. But philanthropy has long underfunded organizations that serve them.
According to the Women & Girls Index from the Women’s Philanthropy Institute, donations to organizations that serve women and girls make up less than two percent of all philanthropic giving in the U.S.
Coming up at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks with a Twin Cities leader who is trying to change that.
Gloria Perez, the president and CEO of the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota, says investing in women and girls is critical to growing gender and racial equity.
