Women More Charitable Than Men

According to a study by The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, females are more generous when it comes to being charitable than men. In all income groups, women are more likely to give – sometimes twice as much a men. In the study’s middle range of income, $43,500 to $67,532, the average donation was $728 from women and $373 from men. World Vision says those findings mirror what it is seeing among its supporters across the country. Among the nearly 885,000 Americans who sponsor a child through the organization, three out of four are female.
