For more than 30 years, Women & Philanthropy at UCLA has celebrated the power of women donors and inspired women throughout the UCLA community to connect, lead, and make a difference.

Since its founding, Women & Philanthropy has offered engaging programs and experiences that introduce women donors to the extraordinary breadth of UCLA—from world-class scholars and faculty to groundbreaking research, life-changing health care, and excellence in the arts and athletics. These connections have inspired significant philanthropic support and leadership involvement across every corner of the University.

Just as important, Women & Philanthropy creates a powerful sense of community and belonging. We bring together women of diverse backgrounds, generations, and experiences who share a common passion: supporting UCLA and the people, ideas, and discoveries that shape our world. Through these relationships, women build meaningful connections not only to UCLA, but also to one another.

I am deeply honored to serve as president of Women & Philanthropy and invite you to join us in shaping the future of this innovative and thriving public university. Together, we power greatness at UCLA—and empower one another to champion transformational opportunities that make a difference in our community, our country, and even around the world.

I look forward to all that we will accomplish together.

Dana Katz 
President
