We are deeply grateful for the extraordinary annual support of our alumni and friends. Your contributions are creating opportunity, improving lives, and providing much-needed resources to our students and faculty.

Since the launch of Campaign UW: Creating Futures, more than 234,000 donors have made a gift to the University, with many donors renewing their commitment every year.

We encourage our donors to be very targeted in their giving. With more than 3,000 different funds to choose from, it is our hope that you are able to make the gift that is most meaningful to you.

Some alumni choose to support the school, college, or department from which they earned their degree. Others choose a program that sparks their interest, or a field of study that fuels their passion. Many of our alumni and friends give to student scholarship funds while others choose to support faculty research. Gifts can be designated to a current use fund-such as a school or college discretionary fund-or they can be designated for endowment, where your gift will be invested and provide a return to the University in perpetuity.

Regardless of where you direct your support, your gifts of every size make a significant difference at the University of Washington. Together, with your continued support, we will create vibrant futures for our students, faculty, and the communities we serve, both here and around the globe.
