Women Give to Same Causes as Men, Study Finds

Do men and women give to different types of causes?

It turns out that women are just as likely, if not more likely, as men to give to every kind of cause, according to a study released this week.

But some charities do have an edge when it comes to seeking gifts from women. The largest gender difference the study found was in church giving: A third of women said they were more likely to support religious institutions over other causes, while only a quarter of men shared that view.
