Women of Influence - Our Mission

Women of Influence (WOI) is open to female alumni and friends of the University of North Alabama who contribute $250 or more annually to the Women of Influence Fund at the UNA Foundation. This program allows philanthropists who share a passion for and commitment to our students at UNA to come together and make a collective difference by partnering directly with UNA’s First Lady Dena Kitts. As her signature initiative, one-third of the donations raised each year will be designated to the philanthropic priority of the First Lady’s choice. Since the inception of WOI these priorities have been the Caring for the Pride fund, and North Alabama Athletics’ female student-athlete initiative; $50 for 50. Annual votes by WOI membership determines the disbursement of the remaining two-thirds of the funds so that every member has a voice in how the money will make a difference at UNA.


As a WOI member, you will be invited to two campus-based meetings and receive an exclusive look into the heart of UNA. Members will hear from faculty, alumni, and students firsthand about how the University has made a difference in their lives.
