Menstuff® has compiled the following information on the gender disparity of corporate giving. This chart shows 85 of the corporations you may know and even utilize their products or services. Their gifting to Female (Women & Girls) Charities and Male (Men & Boys) charities often reflects their contributions to local organizations in areas where they have employees. This chart demonstrates that, of the $31 million dollars given to Women & Girls and Men & Boys charities by these 85 corporations, only 25% of the funds went to Men & Boys programs (which represent only 29% of the organizations funded). Only 12 (14%) of the 85 corporations gave a larger gift to Men & Boys programs with 4 giving an equal amount. In the case of Men & Boys programs, the one most often gifted appears to be the Boy Scouts.
While there is no question as to the validity of this spending
pattern, it doesn't necessarily mean that the corporations are
intentionally squeing their corporate gift giving programs by gender.
There are two other major factors involved: (1) A charity
must be recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a
not-for-profit corporation, which many Men's and Boyss programs are
not, and, (2) most importantly, the organization must submit a
suitable grant request, which most Men's & Boy's programs
don't. In addition, many corporations offer a matching grant program
to their employees. However, if the employees don't gift your
program, you don't get the benefit of these programs. It means
outreach to those who use your services. It means "asking for
help."
