This collaborative project with the National Foundation for Australian Women explores the changing extent and nature of Australian women's philanthropic giving since1880. It will test the hypothesis that these activities both reflected broader constructions of gender and shaped civil society and public policy. The outcome will be enhanced understanding of changing gender relations, and elite women's identity, and a greatly expanded knowledge of the third sector. Given women's increasing wealth, such an understanding is not only of scholarly interest but is crucial for the nonprofit sector, including our industry partner, and for government interest in promoting philanthropic giving in Australia.

这项与澳大利亚国家妇女基金会合作的项目探索了自1880年以来澳大利亚妇女慈善捐赠的变化范围和性质。它将检验这样一种假设，即这些活动既反映了更广泛的性别结构，也塑造了公民社会和公共政策。其结果将是加深对不断变化的性别关系和精英女性身份的了解，并大大扩大对第三部门的了解。鉴于女性日益增长的财富，这样的理解不仅符合学术利益，而且对包括我们的行业合作伙伴在内的非营利部门以及政府在促进澳大利亚慈善捐赠方面的兴趣至关重要。
