Discovery Women\u2019s Group<\/a> is a philanthropic organization that supports student-centered, community engaged projects and programs at Ball State. These aren\u2019t just buzz words\u2014simply look at any of the more than 40 diverse projects Discovery has funded since their inception almost 20 years ago, and it is easy to see the range of influence that this group has had in both the Ball State and Muncie communities.<\/p>\n

Discovery grants provide opportunities to Ball State faculty who may struggle to identify national-level external sponsors for their projects and gives members a chance to underwrite local projects that have an immediate local impact.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Discovery] is my way of making an impact\u2014one that is mine, and all the other women who are members,” says Discovery president Tami Hall. \u201cI really get excited to see how the projects funded evolve. I feel like we are making a direct and impactful difference at the University.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Rita

The Cardinal Wellness project received nearly $9,000 from Discovery to support community-based, interprofessional experiences for College of Health students. Shannon Powers, associate professor of kinesiology, directs the program.

Rooted in community<\/h2>\n

The group started in 1998 as an informal giving circle looking to fund special educational programs at Ball State, and to demonstrate through informed philanthropy the critical role that women can have in the improvement of their communities. The concept of a giving circle is straightforward\u2014a form of non-hierarchical community philanthropy in which members pledge an annual donation and then collectively choose a recipient for their pooled dollars.<\/p>\n

Historically, these groups have been exclusively women, growing in popularity throughout the 20th century as women gained increasingly more autonomy over their finances. Giving circles in general are much more diverse now in race, age, and gender, but the concept remains the same\u2014a collaborative and inclusive group, with the goal of funding progress within their own community.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the time I joined I was a faculty member, and liked the focus of the group of providing dollars for faculty to do projects that had a direct impact on both the University and the community,\u201d says Dr. Sue Whitaker, retired professor of family and consumer sciences. She has been a member of Discovery for more than ten years and currently serves as co-vice president and chair of the grants review committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cInformed philanthropy means that when I give, I know how my dollars are going to be used. That is why I am a strong believer in Discovery, because I know that my dollars are going to make an immediate impact on students at the University.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Inspired to give<\/h3>\n

Hall has been a member for at least ten years but became really engaged about six years ago. At a holiday brunch hosted by founding member Marianne Glick, she became so inspired after a performance by a Discovery-funded student team that she immediately signed up to review grants for the next cycle. \u201cI was so impressed by the grant proposals reviewed and the women who reviewed them,” she said. “I\u2019ve been involved with Discovery as a board member ever since.”<\/p>\n

\"Kennedy

The Book Arts Club for Muncie Central High School was awarded nearly $19,000 to teach youth about the art of printing and bookmaking. The program is led by Dr. Raileen Peterson, associate professor of English. Above: Kennedy shows off a book she created by printing the cover page and hand-sewing the book together.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

All group members are encouraged to join the grants review committee, which narrows down the applicant pool each year to a handful of finalists. After the finalists are presented to the full membership, a vote is called, and each member is allowed a specific number of votes based on their annual donation. \u201cIt gives us each a say in exactly how our dollars contributed are put to use,\u201d says Hall. \u201cThe amount we are able to grant each year depends on how many members are in Discovery: the more members, the more dollars we can grant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Spencer

Since formally aligning themselves with Ball State through the Ball State University Foundation<\/a> in 2002, Discovery has awarded more than one million dollars to fund programs and projects at the University.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need more members of Discovery to continue the legacy and vision of those who created this way for women to support the entire University Community,\u201d urges Whitaker.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
