Support for the KU Women in Medicine and Science (WIMS) organization comes from the KU School of Medicine state budget and the Joy McCann Professorship. Both budgets are limited in what they can provide. To maintain a beneficial and fully supportive series of programs for 250 women faculty members in the School of Medicine, expand into programs for our colleagues in the Schools of Nursing and Allied Health, plus the young woman residents, fellows, post-docs and medical/nursing/allied health students, funding for infra-structure as well as programs is sorely needed.

The only way our Organization will survive in this current economy is through the support of those who believe in our mission. No contribution is too small and all contributions are greatly appreciated. All donations are managed through the University of Kansas Endowment Association (KUEA).

Our fund-raising initiative began May 2011 and this pdf document explains Where Your Money Goes.
