Thank you for your past support of the Women in Graduate Science (UOWGS) organization! Your generosity has helped provide scholarships, career development opportunities, and outreach programs that support scientists from marginalized genders at the University of Oregon. Because of donors like you, graduate students have been able to attend conferences, fund their research, and inspire the next generation of STEM leaders.

We’re excited to share that we’ve launched a new campaign with a goal of raising $5,000 to expand these initiatives even further. With your continued support, we can break down barriers in STEM and create more opportunities for underrepresented scientists. Every contribution brings us closer to a more equitable future—thank you for being part of this journey!

With only 4 days left, we're over 80% to our goal! We're so grateful for your generosity.

Help us spread the word by sharing the campaign with friends and family on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or by sharing the link.

The Women in Graduate Sciences organization held our 9th annual Winter Benefit on March 9. We are so thankful for everyone who attended and the support we have received thus far.

Your donations are essential to advancing our mission of “striving for gender equality by focusing on the professional development of women and all marginalized genders in all disciplines of science to enable them to become successful contributors to their fields.” We accomplish this through scholarships and awards to students, professional development activities and community outreach.

Thanks to our supporters last year, we were able to sponsor more awards, such as our parenting scholarships. Parents training to be scientists use these funds for childcare costs or other essentials. This allows them to focus on their research knowing their little ones have what they need.

We’re almost at 50% of our goal! Help us amplify the Woman in Graduate Sciences campaign. You can give here and remember to spread the word and tell your community to donate before April 8.

We couldn’t do this without you. Thank you
