The solid foundation I received at UW has opened many doors for me. I think it is important to give while you are ‘alive and taking nourishment,’ and it will be such a joy to see the new building on its completion.

Annual Giving
Inspiration knows no timetable. Discovery does not subscribe to budget cycles. Philanthropy will make the difference.
Annual Fund gifts provide the resources to create precious opportunities and address unanticipated needs in the Schools, Colleges, departments, units and programs on campus. While most traditional funding sources are committed to programs in advance and must be used for specific purposes, annual fund gifts provide flexibility in a very fiscally rigid budget.
