The activities of corporate foundations in Ghana include financial contributions, volunteering, collective action, advocacy, grassroots, and direct giving and helping, crowdfunding and hybrid philanthropy. Nevertheless, there is dearth of literature on the effects of the works of corporate foundations on financial inclusion among women in Ghana. Therefore, this study applies qualitative interviews with 10 corporate foundations in Ghana to investigate the effects of the works of corporate foundations on financial inclusion among women in Ghana. Through thematic content analysis, we found that the programmes of corporate foundations have significant effects on financial inclusion among women in Ghana. Therefore, corporate foundations play important roles in ensuring financial inclusion drive of Ghana. However, future studies should consider a bigger sample size that cuts across the 16 regions of Ghana. Findings of the current study have policy implication for corporate foundations, government and academia.
