In proud and loving memory of Rita Mae Kelly, her friends and colleagues, in affiliation with the Women's Caucus for Political Science, the Latina Caucus in Political Science, the Committee on the Status of Latinos/Latina in the Profession, the Race, Ethnicity and Politics Organized Section, and the Women and Politics Research Organized Section, have developed The Rita Mae Kelly Endowment Fund.

The Fund will support research on the intersection of gender, race, ethnicity, and political power. Income from the endowment will be used to support, but not be limited to, research grants for pre-dissertation graduate students, an award, or public presentation addressing the intersection of gender, race, ethnicity, and politics.
