Now Accepting Applications! History impactmedia 2025-08-26T14:59:20-04:00 Empowerment through Education since 1999 WISP began as a program of The Sunshine Lady Foundation (SLF) in 1999. The primary intent is to provide assistance to survivors of intimate partner abuse with education that leads to a living wage and financial self-sufficiency, interrupting the cycle of financial abuse within the larger context of economic justice.
In December 2007, SLF Founder and President, Doris Buffett announced her intention to endow WISP as its own entity. On July 1, 2008 WISP emerged as a stand-alone organization with a mission to enhance efforts toward economic justice by offering a means to help survivors of intimate partner abuse access higher education.
WISP is available nationally to survivors who have left an abusive intimate partner relationship and who are pursuing an education with the goal of providing economic independence for themselves and their children. Since 1999 WISP has awarded $50 million in grants to thousands of survivors across the United States. 3,058 proud graduates – break the cycle of abuse and build brighter futures.
