Donors to Initiatives For Women have a variety of reasons for supporting
IFW. A person may want to honor a special individual with a named
award. An organization may want to support the overall goals of
IFW. Others might have a specific academic cause to further (see
also a list of established
Funds as well as types of
Donations).
Here are some
