Why Make A Gift?

A Western Washington University education pays dividends for a lifetime. And those that help make it possible through their generous sharing of resources play an important role in our success. As Western continues to be recognized for undergraduate excellence, exceptional attention to students by faculty and the availability of state-of-the-art technology, gifts from alumni, parents and friends play an ever-increasingly important role. Your gifts make a difference and the entire campus community is grateful for your confidence and commitment.

More than 651 strong, Western faculty focus their efforts on all aspects of the undergraduate experience. And students come to Western because of our unabashed commitment to a quality liberal arts undergraduate education. They are among the most well-prepared college students in our state, and once on campus, commit themselves to academic excellence, community service and physical well-being.

Ways to support Western are numerous. Cash gifts meet both the University’s immediate and long-term needs. Gifts received via the Phonathon, special mail projects and the President’s Club are utilized by the designated departments to support scholarships, equipment needs and faculty enrichment. These annual gifts provide much-needed flexibility and provide resources that cannot be met through the state budget.
