The Women's Giving Circle was created by the founding members of the Women in Philanthropy Committee of the Campaign for the Twenty-First Century. Since 2002, the circle has awarded over $1.8 million in funding to faculty and staff members from various departments and academic units at the university. This year marks the 22nd year of funding for the circle.
