Gifts & Contributions

The gift of leadership

You are invited to partner with the SMU Women's Symposium in its
efforts to prepare and encourage women of all ages to pursue positions
of leadership in the corporate, community, political, educational and
international arenas.  Since its creation in 1966, the success
of the SMU Women's Symposium is attributed in large part to its ongoing
efforts to create dynamic and lasting partnerships with corporations, service
organizations and individuals.

Individual Gifts
The lifeline of the SMU Women's Symposium is the individual contributor.
Annual gifts from individuals, no matter what size, help fund a significant
portion of the operations of the Symposium. Gifts may be made by cash,
check, or online with a credit card. Give today and change the world and
the women who can make the difference.

Honoraria and Memorials
Gifts may be made to honor or memorialize someone living or deceased.
Celebrate a birth, graduation, anniversary or other special event with a gift
to the SMU Women's Symposium.

SMU Women's Symposium Ambassadors
Personal contacts made on behalf of the SMU Women's Symposium -- friend
to friend; colleague to colleague; teacher to student; mentor to protégée -- are
the most powerful and effective contributions one can make. Whether it is
distributing brochures at meetings, making phone calls, mailing special
invitations to individuals or mentoring planning committee students, Symposium
Ambassadors provide an invaluable service to the program. By actively
promoting the SMU Women's Symposium, Ambassadors ensure this landmark
program continues to provide quality programming to an ever-increasing
multicultural, multigenerational audience of women and men.

Make a difference in the lives of Women with a financial contribution.
