My gifts stem from a dual sense of gratitude, to the University itself for all it has done for me, and to this program for its work with developing nations and the people who live in those places.

|  | The UW Foundation's vision statement--philanthropy will mean the difference between the maintenance of a great university and the evolution of an extraordinary one--in essence makes the case for private support.
Because state funding currently provides only the means for a basic education, private funding supplements state and federal dollars and supports many special programs and projects not possible through conventional funding sources.
Examples of these are professorships, fellowships and scholarships in all academic disciplines, research efforts and building projects.
Those academic opportunities and enhancements that make the UW a truly exceptional university are only available through private support. |
