When the society was founded one of the first actions was to create an endowment that would support lifelong engagement and leadership opportunities. To that end, the Alumnae Initiatives Endowment was established to enrich engagement regionally and help keep the university on the cutting edge of women's engagement. It will support regional and interest-based programming that brings W&M women and their supporters together to strengthen bonds with one another and the university, allowing empowerment of generations of W&M women around the world. The endowment is unique in that it is funded almost primarily by women. Read why our members give.
