About the Maryland Women's Society

Launched in 2025, the Maryland Women’s Society connects Terp women and allies to advocate for the initiatives and programs they are passionate about on campus. We offer a platform to support critical areas of focus and momentum for the university through the power of collective giving.

The Maryland Women’s Society is composed of University of Maryland supporters of all ages, personal interests and life stories who make a difference by investing in the transformational work of our students, faculty and staff.

In addition to our annual membership contribution of $1,000, the Maryland Women’s Society offers a Junior Membership for supporters 30 and under, designed to foster the next generation of women philanthropists and leaders through an annual contribution of $250.

Get Involved

We’re excited to welcome you to this vibrant donor community. Members of the Maryland Women’s Society contribute to the Maryland Women’s Fund with an annual gift of $1,000 ($250 for Junior Members) — 100% of which supports a campus priority chosen by the Society each year.

Members can look forward to engaging with this special community throughout the year, including these planned activities and events:

  

  • September 10, 2026: The Maryland Women’s Society will host a “Chip and Sip” event at the University Golf Course, in partnership with Maryland Athletics and the Division of Student Affairs. The event will feature a golf lesson from the Men’s and Women’s Golf teams, followed by a reception. Members are invited to bring a prospective member to attend.

  • Winter 2026/2027: Maryland Women’s Society members will receive information on the impact of the inaugural Maryland Women’s Society grants.

  • Spring 2027: Voting will open for Women’s Society donors to select funding recipients for the 2026-2027 grant cycle.

  • March 15, 2027: Supporters who make an annual donation to the Maryland Women’s Society by this date will be eligible to vote on the selection of funding recipients.
