Abstract

Even before The New World became The U.S. philanthropy by and for women produced educational, social and political changes for women. After The Revolution, women’s philanthropy continued to grow. Without it there would not have been a 19th Amendment to the country’s constitution giving (most, white) women the vote. The historical development of women’s philanthropy demonstrates how building awareness of women’s needs, concerns and challenges can engage women as supporters, advocates, prospects and donors. Understanding this historical context can help fundraisers think about awareness building on several different levels: individually, through groups, networks and communities.
