Boomer Women Give More to Charity, New Study Finds

Women of the baby boomer and older generations give more to charity than their male counterparts and are more likely to give, when education, income and other factors affecting giving are equal, a new study from the Women’s Philanthropy Institute at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University finds.

At all income levels, and regardless of the share of their permanent income that they give, boomer and older women give 89 percent more to charity than their male counterparts.
