Women dominate the social service fields as teachers, social workers and healthcare workers
Women in Philanthropy:
Women business owners are giving of their time, talent and treasure: 7 in 10 volunteer at least once per month; 31% contribute $5,000 or more to charity annually; and 15% give $10,000 or more.
Women are more likely to serve in volunteer leadership positions than men.
