Support Women & Philanthropy

 

Want to join like-minded women in being a part of exciting new initiatives at The University of Toledo?

Your gift to Women & Philanthropy will impact students, patients, programs, and services—having a ripple effect through the UToledo community and beyond.

Since 2005, Women & Philanthropy has provided nearly $500,000 in 19 grants to The University of Toledo. By pooling members' resources, W&P is able to make significant awards for UT needs and opportunities.

The inaugural grant, in the amount of $15,000, was awarded in 2008 to the William Carlson Library to commission a glass sculpture by the late artist, Thomas McGlaughlin. That sculpture, entitled "A University Woman," is on display in the library and has become the model for the Women & Philanthropy logo.

How We've Made a Difference

"We are extremely grateful for the significant investment provided by Women & Philanthropy to establish the Genetic Analysis Instrumentation Center, which will greatly enhance our capability to investigate numerous diseases and develop potential therapies."

Dr. Steven Haller, Center Co-Director and Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine

"We are incredibly grateful that the UT Judith Herb College of Education and Women & Philanthropy have chosen to support classrooms throughout TPS schools, including Old Orchard, which is right in the neighborhood of the University. As a College of Education graduate, I'm especially proud of this partnership to serve our students."

Dr. Romules Durant, Toledo Public Schools Superintendent

 

"We are very grateful for the grant we received from Women & Philanthropy. We were able to decorate the walls of the locker room in a way that inspires our current team, honors our former student-athletes and impresses our recruits. We were also able to add a computer and printer that have helped our players study for classes."

Tricia Cullop, UT Women's Basketball Coach

"Receiving the grant from Women & Philanthropy has allowed the Center for Excellence in Autism to renovate and equip an 'autism-friendly' examination room that is part of our Adolescent Girls' and Women's Wellness Initiative. Their vision has allowed us to bring to life a vital element of our programming, which is the first of its kind in the country. It is a lasting contribution that embodies the best of UT's spirit of innovation and dedication to serving the needs of the community."
