THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US ON OUR 6TH ANNUAL GIVE DAY! CLICK HERE TO STILL MAKE A GIFT!
Women & Philanthropy
Join the movement by supporting our Impact Award!

This Give Day, Women & Philanthropy is raising funds for its first $25,000 Impact Award! 

This award will celebrate and honor a UC Davis faculty or staff member who contributes to the advancement of female leaders, demonstrates exemplary leadership, and makes significant contributions to our local and global university communities.

Awardees will direct this $25,000 to a UC Davis fund of their choice. This is an opportunity to aid student scholarships, women’s health research, the arts, or other areas of campus. 

Anyone can be a philanthropist. Be a part of growing the culture of philanthropy. Give to Women & Philanthropy now and help us launch the Impact Award.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”              - Margaret Mead               

Building Community

Women & Philanthropy is united by our belief in the transformative power of philanthropy. It sets us apart. It doesn’t matter how much or where we give—It’s the shared understanding that improving the world begins with us supporting one another.

That is why we are building a network of philanthropists and leaders who support UC Davis’ mission to make the world a better place. We are committed to creating an inclusive future and celebrating the visionaries who inspire the next generation of leaders.  

In helping one another thrive, we create a better world for everyone. But we need action to build the vision—let’s build it together.
