“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.” - From a graduate student on the Lawrence campus who graduated in 2022
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 $6,000, 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.
“I would like to thank you personally for the funds I received through the KU Women for KU Women Fund. Receiving these funds has reminded me that I am not alone. Rather, I am part of a team that cares about me personally and wants me to succeed. Words really cannot properly express my gratitude. I hope that someday I will be in a position where I can give back to students at the University of Kansas.” - From a current student recipient in Health Professions at the KU Medical Center
