Please join me as a member of Women in Philanthropy at Ohio University. Together, we can create a powerful new wave of giving by women who care about the University and can make a lasting impact on future generations of Ohio University students.

Chair, Women in Philanthropy Initiative

The Women in Philanthropy Internship Scholarship program has gotten off to a great start this year! The scholarship is intended to provide students with financial support to help cover their travel and living expenses while they complete an internship during Summer 2012. This is a part of our multichannel initiative to help Ohio University students be career ready by assisting students with pursuing these important educational opportunities.

We received many great applications this year, and the application review committee selected two impressive recipients. Allison Arnold is a Junior Political Science major who will be completing an internship in Washington D.C. on U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner's press team. Brooke Bunce is a Sophomore Magazine Journalism major who will be completing an internship in New York City with Parents Magazine.

Our Mission

Women in Philanthropy of Ohio University will foster a powerful tradition of giving and support for the University and its departments, activites and facilities. It will aspire to increase the number of women who give to Ohio University by providing advocacy about women's philanthropic issues and by training future generations of Ohio University donors.
