Women & Philanthropy Network

The Women & Philanthropy Network aims to motivate and bring together women as leaders, donors and advocates for the University of Kentucky. We pool our annual gifts to fund scholarships, research and special programs - all supporting UK students - and we vote each year to determine how to designate our gifts. Nearly $2.5 million has been awarded since the network was formed.

Success!
