WWU Give Day 2020
WWU Give Day

Wow! You have really showed Western students how much we care about them. Our hearts are filled with gratitude and smiles knowing how supportive you've been.

 

We are pleased to announce that our WWU Give Day Challenge Pool Match is 19% this year! Thank you to all of our generous challenge fund donors.

 

 

Our 5th Annual WWU Give Day has been more important than ever for two reasons: we are passionate about providing basic needs for our students who are suffering economically right now, and we need to show compassion and encourage Western students during this uncertain time.

 

  • Your gifts to WWU’s Student Emergency Fund, Scholarships or your favorite department, scholarship, program or team are helping us meet the critical needs of students facing financial hardship.

Also...it's never too late to support WWU students and programs. You can still make a gift at: www.wwu.edu/give. Thank you!

 

 

Thank you to our generous WWU Give Day Challenge Pool Sponsors!
