NWFBO STUDY


According to this article from Philanthropy News Digest, a study conducted by the National Foundation for Women Business Owners and funded by Merrill Lynch found that successful women are likely to be generous givers.

Their main interests include educational reform, women- related causes and arts groups.

However, if you're involved in solicitation strategies, you may want to note that most of the women surveyed reported that they were put off by the ways in which they were asked to give.
