Grants

Celebrating 20 years of impact: Grants & awards

For two decades, Women & Philanthropy has stood at the powerful intersection of research and generosity—fueling innovation, empowering changemakers and transforming lives across Ohio State.

How it works

Each year, our members come together to fund bold ideas and breakthrough initiatives. Finalists—Ohio State faculty and staff—present their proposals directly to our community. Members vote and funding is awarded within the same academic year, ensuring projects can launch without delay.

Award allocation

Your annual investment in the Women & Philanthropy fund does more than support—it activates. Members learn about the finalists’ goals, cast their votes and celebrate the winners whose work will shape the future.

Quick facts

• Applicants must be current Ohio State faculty or staff
• Grants typically range from $10,000 to $50,000
• Finalists present their proposals to the full membership
• Awarded partners are invited to future events to share outcomes and inspire others
