Join the Parkland Women of Impact

Parkland Woman of Impact is a grassroots giving circle of compassionate, diverse, and influential women dedicated to helping women students at Parkland College through scholarship support. Through a gift, spreading the word, and attendance at the marquee event, we build a stronger community to keep women stepping towards their goals and dreams. The Women of Impact are creating a ripple effect of stronger women, families, workplaces, and communities.

  • Parkland Women of Impact membership begins with a minimum gift of just $100.
  • Additionally, gifts of $500 or more are recognized as part of the Parkland College Foundation President's Circle.
  • 100% of your donation is tax deductible and will be directed to the Parkland Women of Impact Scholarship Fund.

Your gift includes an invitation to our annual Women of Impact event. Attendees review Women of Impact scholarship applicants and participate in selecting recipients.
