Episode 3 | Why do we tend to see relatively few female philanthropists?

Women are not new to the world of philanthropy. And yet, we tend to see relatively few female philanthropists. Why is this?
In the third episode of 'The impact of giving', Professor Paul Smeets gives three main reasons that contribute to this phenomenon. Paul also highlights how more and more women are taking a seat at the table and are challenging the received wisdom of who can become a philanthropist.
