Who We Are

The University of Chicago Women’s Board is a dynamic, diverse network of women committed to advancing the University of Chicago’s mission of rigorous inquiry through intellectual engagement, financial investment, and building community.

Intellectual Engagement

Through monthly programming and special events, our members confront both timely and timeless issues addressed by University of Chicago faculty. Programs connect our members with the breadth, depth, and world-class thought leadership of the University of Chicago.

Financial Investment

Through the power of collective giving, our members amplify the work of faculty, staff, and students through selecting and funding University grants with immediate and lasting impact. 100 percent of members’ contributions fund these grants.

Building Community

Our work connects members with one another to forge strong social and professional relationships. We are a growing, vibrant community who value direct interaction with this preeminent university that is improving lives and changing the world.

Our Impact

We are committed to advancing the University of Chicago’s mission of rigorous inquiry and to expanding the reach of the University’s work to a larger community. We encourage both University-affiliated and non-affiliated members to join us.
