Kenyon Women Giving Back

Mission: To celebrate and amplify the alumnae impact on the College and on the world by building connections and philanthropic support.

Kenyon alumnae give back in a variety of inspiring ways — to their communities, their families, their professions and their alma mater.

Our new volunteer-driven event series, Kenyon Women Giving Back, celebrates these philanthropic alumnae, honors their contributions and shares the important stories of how Kenyon women are impacting the world collectively.

Each Kenyon Women Giving Back event focuses on a small group of alumnae who share common philanthropic goals — whether it be where they choose to give back, how they choose to give back or what they choose to give back.

The Kenyon Women Giving Back steering committee is challenging Kenyon alumnae to support the Kenyon Women’s Annual Scholarship, which since its inception in 2020 has provided over $200,000 in current use dollars to Kenyon women students.

Get Involved

Support Women at Kenyon Our data from 2017-18 suggests that although women are more engaged with Kenyon than their male counterparts, they do not lead with philanthropy as strongly as men. In the ongoing Our Path Forward campaign, roughly one-third of giving is coming from women. Join us to change that.

Kenyon Women’s Annual Scholarship

Gifts to the Kenyon Fund to support this scholarship can make an immediate impact for a deserving student who identifies as female.

Kenyon Women’s Endowed Scholarship

Created to honor the 50th anniversary of women coming to Kenyon, this need-based scholarship will be given each year to a deserving student who identifies as female.
