Invest in Student Entrepreneurs and Innovator

All gifts will be matched up to $15,000, thanks to the generosity of David Cole!

At WWU, we believe entrepreneurs and innovators are those who see possibility where others see barriers—bringing people and resources together to create meaningful change.

This Give Day, we’re asking for your support to expand our Student Fellows Programs and Culture of Belonging initiatives focused on deepening student leadership, mentorship, and hands-on learning.

Our program is proud to be a place where students learn not just to build ventures, but to lead with purpose, empathy, and confidence. Whether they go on to start companies, contribute to teams, or improve their communities, our students are prepared to act with creativity and impact.

“This has been the most engaging, most impactful, inspirational, and relevant class I have ever taken at Western. THANK YOU!!”
— WWU E&I Student

“I really appreciate the people I've met, the amazing minds I’ve gotten to collaborate with, and the trust from the faculty to allow us to pursue our personal passions.”

With your support, we’ve elevated our student experience and impact. This year, we aim to go even further—supporting more students who are shaping the future of entrepreneurship and innovation.

Here's how you can help:

Donate any amount on Give Day – every dollar directly supports student development.
