We see you. We believe you. You matter.
Thank you in advance for your support, your partnership, and your generosity. Your gift will change lives.
This is the anthem of the Women's Center and we seek to turn our words into actions each and every day whether we're in person or on online. It only takes a moment to amplify this message and to help transform lives, create belonging, and spread inspiration—and you can make your mark no matter where you are. Join the #BlackandGoldRush for UMBC's Women's Center by visiting UMBC's Community Engagement Giving Day page and click on our name!
And where does your gift go?
Directly toward our mission to advance gender equity and foster belonging for UMBC students.
Here's just *some* examples:
Here's just *some* examples:
- Due to the success of last year's Giving Day, we were able to offer 10 $150-200 book scholarships to our Returning Women Student Scholar Affiliates each semester to let them know they mattered and we believe in their academic goals.
- To support faculty and staff transition to online learning and support, we offered workshops dedicated to addressing the role of gender power in online courses and online harassment presented by experts in the field. Your contribution of any size can support additional learning opportunities.
- When we return to campus, your gift of $25 will provide 2 hours of support from our amazing student staff who help build community and keep the Women’s Center open during the times professional staff are providing individualized support and care for students.
- A contribution of $50 will help support future special events hosted by our identity- based discussion groups like Between Women’s Cookie, Milk, and Coming Out Stories or Spectrum’s self-care lunch on Transgender Day of Remembrance, or pizza for our monthly Women in STEM discussion series.
Maybe you're not in a place to donate, and that's OKAY!
