FUNDING- The University of Kentucky Women & Philanthropy Network is calling for submission of proposals for potential funding in 2018 (see attached application form); July 6, 2018 

 

In 2007, a group of women with diverse talents and experiences came together with a common vison:  to build a better UK and a better Commonwealth.  They organized the University of Kentucky Women & Philanthropy Network, creating a new culture of service and philanthropy through their gifts of time, talent and resources.

 

Since then, the Women & Philanthropy Network has grown in size and strength as it has recognized the essential and continuing role of women in the life and progress of the University.  Network members have increased the number and quality of opportunities available for UK students, faculty and staff.  The major areas of focus for combined giving have been scholarships, research and programs.

 

Proposals for funding not to exceed $50,000 are accepted in the spring of each year from colleges and university programs; there is limit of two proposals per college/program and they must be approved by the dean or vice president of the respective unit.  The entire membership ranks the proposals late in the calendar year and funds are available to the successful proposals in the following January.

 

By harnessing the passion, skills and capabilities of a large number of individuals, the UK Women and Philanthropy Network is playing an important role in helping UK be the University for Kentucky.
