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.
