SUBJECT: Request for Proposals
The
UK Women & Philanthropy Network is an organization of alumni and friends
who have pooled their love for UK, along with their time, talents and resources,
to help fund important programs and projects at the University the
Kentucky. Founded in 2007 with a common
vision to build a better UK and a better Commonwealth Women &
Philanthropy continues to grow in size and strength, dedicating the funding
provided by members to assist in the life and growth of the University.
W
& P has funded a wide array of projects since its inception. Attached is a summary listing of all of the
funded proposals since the award process began.
Also attached are guidelines the organization follows when recommending
proposals for funding.
The
University of Kentucky Women & Philanthropy
Network is calling for submission of proposals for potential funding in
2016. We ask that you consider priorities in your college or programs
that focus on the areas of scholarships, research and programs. If
you determine that your college/program has priorities in these areas that
would benefit from W & P funding, please contact your
dean or vice president to secure an application form and submit the proposal to
Paula L. Pope at the UK Office of Development, 129 Sturgill
Building, 0015, or via email, ppope@email.uky.edu, no
later than 5:00 p.m. on June 15, 2015. Selected proposals will be presented on
November 6, 2015, to the W & P Network who will vote for the proposals they
deem most impactful. Recommendation for
funding will be determined according to the number of votes received for each
proposal and awards will be made in early 2016.
If
you have any questions, or would like more information, please contact Paula
Pope at 257-3187.
