A research study by The Lake Institute on Faith and Giving at Indiana University for Women Doing Well in Collaboration with Blue Trust.
Something remarkable is happening:
Christian women are stepping into unprecedented financial influence. Women are making, marrying, and inheriting wealth at Kingdom changing rates.
Women control one-third of U.S. household financial assets.
Women-owned businesses are growing 4.5 times faster than those owned by men.
By 2045, $124 trillion will transfer to women and younger generations.
Yet, women aren’t ready, nor are most of the ministries, financial institutions, and churches that serve them. These shifts are happening, and more women are becoming the decision makers around spending, saving, and giving. The question is, will we be ready?
The Women, Wealth & Faith research project bridges this gap.
Through rigorous research and real insights from Christian women of wealth, we’re uncovering what motivates giving generously, what barriers hold women back, and how organizations can inspire transformational giving that aligns with women’s values and faith.
This research is the second ever conducted on Christian women and giving. Women Doing Well in collaboration with Blue Trust desires that women and those who serve them will better understand the needs, barriers, motivators and potential of Christian women.
