INSPIRING CHANGE
Women & Philanthropy is comprised of a group of like-minded women who participate in and promote volunteer and philanthropic leadership at UCLA. The program seeks to attract and mentor the next generation of philanthropic leaders on campus. It is a community of knowledgeable, unique, powerful voices who are moving the university ahead by addressing its current needs – and creating new possibilities for the future.
