Women’s Giving Circle Requests Proposals for 2011 Grants

The University of Arkansas Women’s Giving Circle is requesting proposals for programs and initiatives supporting our campus and our community. Projects may include work that focuses on or serves campus initiatives, community needs or statewide programs. Since 2003, the circle has awarded $500,000 in grants to faculty and staff members from various departments and academic units at the university. 

Please visit http://wgc.uark.edu/ to learn about the proposal application process or to see a list of past funding recipients. The deadline for proposal submission is Monday, Aug. 1. Grants will be awarded on Friday, Sept. 23.

If you have questions, please speak with your unit’s development officer for clarification or assistance in preparing your proposal. All proposals must be approved by the dean or vice chancellor of your unit before they will be accepted for submission. Development officers will include a special cover sheet with your proposal when it is submitted to the grants committee for review.

The Women’s Giving Circle was created in 2002 by the founding members of the Women and Philanthropy Committee of the Campaign for the Twenty-First Century.
