[Foundation-l] Fundraising is for men

Dear all;

We have heard many times that most Wikipedians are male, but have you heard
about gender and fundraising? Some data from a 2010 study[1] and a 2011
German study[2] (question 20th of 22). People have said that Wikipedia is a
sexist place which excludes women to edit. Looks like women neither are
interested on editing nor funding free knowledge.

Is WMF working to increase female donors just like female editors?

Regards,
emijrp
