Make your gift by Foundation Day! (May 5, 2019)
The IWA Alumnae Decade Challenge  is well under way! The Alumnae goal is to raise $35,000 of the overall $420,000 IWA Annual Fund goal. To-date, Women of the Word like you have helped us raise more than $24,000— help us reach our $35,000 alumnae goal by May 5th !
The ladies of the 1960s are currently in the lead with the highest number of donors from their decade! (But the 1950s are not too far behind!) Join us in supporting the young women at IWA and help your decade reach 1st place in overall participation.
The 2019 IWA Alumnae Decade Challenge is a friendly competition between decades for the highest participation in the IWA Annual Fund. All gifts alumnae give count toward the Decade Challenge. The big push for the Decade Challenge runs between the Spring Alumnae Luncheon and Foundation Day (May 5th), but you are welcome to give at any time.

The IWA Annual Fund supports key areas like Campus Ministry, Fine Arts, Student Life, as well as our innovative Young Leaders Program, and much more!

Bragging rights go to the decade with the highest number of participants and to the decade with the highest amount raised towards the IWA Annual Fund. Decade Challenge champs will receive recognition at the 2019 All-Class Reunion, in the Alumnae Amor newsletter, on the IWA website, and in The Word bi-annual magazine.
Thank you to our current 2019 Decade Challenge donors!
