(July 24, 2019) The IUPUI Lilly Family School of Philanthropy released a new
report called Women Give 2019: Gender and Giving Across Communities of
Color. This report examines the giving patterns, priorities, and attitudes
of America’s wealthiest households and, in particular, explores the
intersection of race, gender and giving. In 2019, The Alford Group celebrates

knowledge/experience on this topic.
