“I was out of resources and I couldn’t do it, but for the funding that the Women Philanthropists for KU and the Endowment Association made possible. The financial assistance I was given access to was a lifeline, during a very challenging and difficult time for me and my family. And I am so very grateful, so grateful, because now I am on track to finish next spring.
Mine is just one story, out of many students, that this philanthropy organization has served, but on behalf of all award winners and recipients, please permit me to say, that with every gift and donation you bestow, understand that you effectively become a coauthor of another student’s success story.”

The Women Philanthropists for KU strive to cultivate success, and to uplift and support the leaders of tomorrow. We are focused on engaging, educating and inspiring women to become philanthropic leaders at the University of Kansas. We encourage all to make a difference at KU through their philanthropy and leadership.
The advisory board of the Women Philanthropists for KU is matching all gifts, up to $8,000, to the KU Women for KU Women Fund. This fund provides grants for KU women students who are either seniors or graduate students facing financial obstacles. Too many students experience emergencies or other situations resulting in unanticipated expenses that challenge their ability to complete their studies. All it takes is a small boost to give a student the support they need to strive for success and accomplish their dreams. Join us in supporting these students by giving to the KU Women for KU Women Fund.
