Why This Work Matters
These are not Donate's numbers. They're the sector research that explains why organizations like ours need to exist - and why the funding gap for women and children is one of the most urgent problems in philanthropy.
Each figure comes from a named primary source.
2.04%
That's how much of U.S. charitable giving reached organizations focused on women and children in 2023. Less than three cents of every dollar donated.

Our Partners' Work
The most tangible evidence of impact at this stage of Donate's existence is the work our partner organizations were already doing before we launched.
We didn't create their impact - we're building a channel that helps more donors find and support it.
What Comes Next
We know this page is sparse. That’s intentional. We won’t publish impact numbers we don’t have, and we won’t present projections as results.
We’re building toward direct visibility into the real-world outcome of every contribution made to partner organizations. Not a dashboard of aggregate statistics — a direct line between a gift and the impact it made.
