Funding for the Penn Women's Center comes from a variety of sources, including donations, and goes to support programs such as Feel Good Fridays and staff positions such as our new Violence Prevention Educator. We appreciate donations of time and expertise as well. Inquiries in that direction may be directed to pwc@pobox.upenn.edu.
We are delighted to announce a new project: the creation of a Women's Garden at the Women's Center. The garden will provide a quiet space for reading, relaxing and gathering, and will feature benches, a stone fireplace/barbecue, a bird bath, a central dining table and assorted plant beds. The planting colour scheme will be purple, gold and white in honour of the suffrage movement and its leader - herself a Penn alumna - Alice Paul. We will prioritize native Pennsylvania plants both ornamental and edible. This garden will be open to all, but will especially nurture the personal, programmatic and social needs of Penn women.
Donations can be made by navigating through the University of Pennsylvania's online giving website in another window. On the new webpage, under "Choose a general area" select "University Life". For the "Select a program" box choose "Penn Women's Center", and use "Penn Women's Center Gift Fund" for the specific fund. Thank you!
