Giving to CWGS

We invite all members of the community who are concerned with gender equity and the issues facing girls, women, and families to support our programs. Contributions enable the Center to offer scholarships for students, provide rewards and recognition to outstanding teachers and researchers, sponsor public and academic programs, and support community outreach work.

Your contribution will help CWGS to reach its goal of establishing a permanent funding structure for our programs. Under the strong leadership of the director, associate director, and steering committee, CWGS is poised to rise to the ranks of the best women's and gender studies programs in the country. With additional support, the Center can build on its considerable teaching and research strengths and continue its trajectory towards academic excellence and community programming. Donations will be used to develop new courses for our undergraduate major and graduate portfolio, to reward excellent teaching, to provide scholarships for students, and to develop our community outreach program.

How to Give

You can invest in the Center and provide opportunities to students and faculty through either planned giving or outright gifts that often carry special tax incentives.
