The solid foundation I received at UW has opened many doors for me. I think it is important to give while you are 'alive and taking nourishment,' and it will be such a joy to see the new building on its completion.

Women’s Philanthropy Council

Make a Gift to the Women’s Philanthropy CouncilFounded in 1988 as the Council on Women's Giving, the Women's Philanthropy Council has pioneered new national standards for women as philanthropists. The Council is the first major gift organization for women at a co-ed educational institution.

The Council leads activities designed to bring more women into volunteer leadership roles and to secure major gifts from women philanthropists and their families.

The chair of the Council serves ex-officio on the UW Foundation Board of Directors for one non-renewable three-year term. The current chair is Doris Weisberg, New York, New York.
