When you make a gift of any size to the Women’s Philanthropy Leadership Council (WPLC) Fund, you support philanthropic innovation and make a difference in countless lives—at IU and beyond.
We welcome all who want to make the world a better place.
Effective philanthropy means knowing that sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow, but you always commit to the greater good of the cause. The causes we serve demand nothing less.
