Survey Guide, Question 15: Contributions by Gender

This question asks that you break down the total giving in Question 9 by the gender of the end-recipient of the contribution. The organization to which the contribution is made does not need to have a gender focus, so long as the contribution is made to serve a specific gender.

Example: A grant is made to Columbia University to establish a “Women in Science” scholarship fund. Columbia is not a gender-specific organization; however, the end-recipients of this scholarship will be female students. Therefore, the money for this grant should be categorized as “Females.”
