Greetings and welcome,
Society is shifting. The faces of philanthropy are changing. Women are leading, shaping, and redefining philanthropy. We are harnessing our time, talent, ties, testimony, and treasure to shape conversations, strengthen communities, and expand opportunities. Women & Philanthropy at UC Davis amplifies these efforts—to bring together thought leaders, problem-solvers, and change-makers who are addressing the most pressing challenges that affect all of us.
The Wisdom of Women (WoW) event is one of the ways we do this. Our wisdom is found in shared stories and life experiences. Our stories are powerful. Wisdom of Women is built on the belief in women’s voices and agency—voices that lead future generations, answer the call of community, and shape lives of purpose and intention.
Women & Philanthropy does more than raise funds. We connect. We build community. We catalyze action. We create impact. Through initiatives like the Virtual Speaker Series, the Women & Philanthropy Impact Award, and Wisdom of Women, we elevate voices, spark dialogue, and drive meaningful change.
Philanthropy is evolving. Women are leading that evolution. Let’s build the future of giving—together. Join us.
Be Curious. Be Kind. Be Generous.
Sallie-Grace Tate
Executive Director Women & Philanthropy
