When women unleash their economic and philanthropic power, they create positive change.
Women’s Philanthropy exists to empower women to engage with Indiana University while deeply connecting with issues that matter—and each other—through philanthropic giving. We facilitate events, learning experiences, and meaningful relationships, inspiring those who join us to support current and future generations of students, faculty, and ground-breaking research.
When we work together, we achieve more.
From hosting our Women’s Colloquium to cheering on riders at the Women’s Little 500 to awarding life-changing grants, Women’s Philanthropy seeks to serve. And the thread that runs throughout all our work is a deep commitment to collaborating for positive change.
We know that when we combine our voices, we multiply our impact. So we work to ensure that all are heard, valued, and included, and that our programs meet the needs of a diverse range of constituents. Ultimately, we cultivate engaged leaders—both within and beyond IU’s alumni population—who give their time, talent, and treasure for the benefit of all.
To our students, your gift is more than just money: It is upward mobility, a changing trajectory, an opportunity otherwise unavailable to so many. Thank you for believing in our cause and helping our students succeed.

Each year, the Women’s Philanthropy Leadership Council (WPLC) awards life-changing grants that invigorate new initiatives and expand the reach of current programs. Thanks to your gifts, the WPLC can award significant funding to projects across IU’s campuses, improving the student experience, advancing IU-led research, and enriching communities near and far.
It’s easy to be a part of this exciting effort and make an invaluable impact at IU. Simply make a gift of any size to the Women’s Philanthropy Leadership Council Fund, and be a part of giving IU students and faculty the resources they need to make the world a better place.
From South Dakota to southeast Asia, WPLC grants have made a difference in communities around the world.
