Create Lasting Change: Support the Women & Philanthropy Impact Award

At UC Davis, bold leadership is already shaping lives, expanding opportunity, and advancing women across disciplines. Through mentorship, innovation, and philanthropy, vision becomes action every day.

Together, we can accelerate this momentum; strengthening what works and building an even more equitable future.

The Women & Philanthropy Impact Award recognizes a UC Davis faculty or staff member whose leadership advances women and enriches our university community at home and around the world. Through a $25,000 philanthropic award, recipients are empowered to channel their impact forward—investing in the students, programs, and initiatives that matter most to them.

Your Impact Reaches Far and Wide

Previous award recipients have used their gift to support student initiatives that truly change lives:

• Expanding access to health care and essential student services.
• Providing critical resources for students facing systemic barriers.
• Fostering mentorship, leadership development, and inclusive community programs.

Each award tells a story of compassion, commitment, and belief in the power of education leading to transformation.

Why Give?

Leadership deserves recognition. Students deserve opportunity. Progress happens when purpose meets generosity.

Your gift does both. It honors visionary faculty and staff whose leadership advances women and it fuels the initiatives they choose to champion, from scholarships to health equity to the arts. Every contribution strengthens a circle of leadership, mentorship, and impact that reaches across UC Davis and beyond.

The future is built when we build it together. Join us.

Bold. Brilliant. Building the Future.
