Royal Women for EMU

MISSION STATEMENT: Royal Women inspire visible leadership, bold investments, and empowering networks to impact EMU’s future.

Royal Women for EMU is a women’s philanthropy and networking initiative launched in fall of 2023 intended to engage women alumni and friends of EMU in supporting its future.

Royal Women provides an opportunity to build and expand connections with women and focuses on elevating women as philanthropists and leaders in their communities. The initial goal for Royal Women for EMU is to raise $70 thousand for student scholarships. Twenty-thousand dollars will be used for immediate impact grants and $50 thousand will go into an endowed scholarship fund to create lasting impact for EMU students.
