Women of Beneficence (Discovery)
Together, the Women of Beneficence are making a huge impact on Ball State and the Community!

The Women of Beneficence annually select and fund innovative projects and programs presented to them by Ball State faculty. The group has awarded more than $1 million in grants to over 45 programs since its inception.  

As a member of the Women of Beneficence, you are a member, not just a donor and will have numerous opportunities for networking, leadership and social participation.  
In honor of One Ball State Day, the Women of Beneficence board is providing a $10,500 match for new members. This means if you join today, your gift will be doubled!  

With a minimum annual contribution of $250, you will have a huge impact on Ball State University and Muncie. The membership levels are as follows: 

  • Full Members make a gift of $1,000 or more annually and are entitled to two votes during grant selection. 
  • Associate Members - $500–$999 annually, one vote. 
  • Supporting Members - $250–$499 annually, half a vote. 

Thank you for considering a gift to the Women of Beneficence group where you will connect with an amazing group of dedicated philanthropic leaders who are passionate about Ball State's future.
