UPLIFTING WOMEN
The Women’s Philanthropy Network (WPN) is a group of women who share a common cause and a passion for investing in the mission of Georgia State University. WPN uplifts the next generation, and by extension, their families and communities.
Marjorie Knowles was an early champion of WPN and a role model for the influence that women can have with their giving and leadership. Learn about her life and immeasurable impact on Georgia State. READ MORE
“The network is a great landing place for women seeking to be involved in philanthropy—you'll learn, socialize and receive support from other women”.
—Cathy Henson, Education Chair
“Being a first-generation student means I’m setting an example for my younger siblings to strive for greatness. Thanks to the Initiative Scholarship, I was able to pay for my fall semester classes."
“My father wanted nothing more than for at least one of his children to receive a degree, and I take great pride in knowing that I am fulfilling his wishes. I am incredibly honored to have received the Women’s Philanthropy Initiative Scholarship."
“I am so immensely thankful to the women of WPN for their generous support. This scholarship has given me financial security and educational opportunity. I have made it a goal to become a donor within the next 10 years so I can give back what I have received!”
