The Ole Miss Women's Council
This is Hotty Toddy in Action!

The Ole Miss Women’s Council for Philanthropy created an innovative scholarship-mentorship program – now among the largest on campus – that has a far greater impact on students’ lives than financial assistance alone. Women’s Council scholars have access to mentors, leadership training, life skills, travel and cultural opportunities that prepare them for successful careers. Because of your support, Ole Miss Women’s Council scholars are able to make a lifelong commitment to create a caring, more ethical world. 

Increase your impact! Your gift goes further when you participate in one of our challenges or matching gift opportunities below. 

It’s easy to give! Ole Miss Giving Day accepts Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal, all major credit cards and now Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) gifts, allowing you to recommend a grant from your charitable fund through our platform. Consider becoming a monthly donor to build a long-term legacy!
