Why make a gift?
By donating to your favorite department or program on campus, you’re continuing an important legacy. Western relies on the generosity of alumni to fund the extra resources and opportunities that make the Western experience great. If you used the library, the labs on campus, enjoyed the sculptures, were the recipient of a scholarship, used Lakewood, the Student Recreation Center or traveled to conferences to present research (just to name a few!) you took advantage of opportunities made possible by alumni contributions. It’s your turn to return the favor!

Where should I donate?
You can make a gift to any department, college, scholarship, athletic team, or club of your choice. Still not sure? Give to the Campus Enrichment fund or donate to the Library to help fund the purchase of new materials and technology. To see a complete list of gift designations click here.
