Leading Women, Inc.
Leading Women, Inc., established the Leading Women's Fund within the Women's Fund of The Greater Cincinnati Foundation, in 2000. The Women's Fund is a permanent endowment housed at the Greater Cincinnati Foundation that provides grants to programs serving women and girls in this region. The fund was the brainchild of several women in Leadership Cincinnati and several women who were Woman of the Year honorees. They saw the need in our community to ensure that the great non-profit organizations helping women will have a permanent place to go for support and ongoing funding. Since its inception, the Women's Fund has raised over $500,000 in endowment funds, including a named fund that was established by Leading Women, Inc. A number of UC women are former winners including Sandra Degen, Vice President for Research and Anne Runyan, Professor and Head of the Department of Women's Studies.
