THE AWARD PROCESS: HOW IT WORKS

Women & Philanthropy inspires women to discover the power of giving together. Each member of the program contributes a minimum of $1,000 annually, which is deposited into a pooled fund. Throughout the year, members are invited to hear and learn about select areas of interest from across the university.

Faculty members who present to members during an academic year are eligible for a Women & Philanthropy Award, and in April, members receive by mail a ballot and copies of abstracts submitted by the presenters. To vote, each member allocates a total of 100 points to presenters as she sees fit. Points allotted by members are totaled, and funds are distributed among presenters based upon the percentage of total points each receives.

Women & Philanthropy Award recipients are notified of their awards in May and receive their awards in installments over the course of the following academic year. In return, recipients agree to keep the membership of Women & Philanthropy apprised of progress related to the programs receiving funds.
