If you are like many living on a modest income, you can still make a major charitable donation without affecting your financial needs by naming the CWU Foundation as the sole or partial beneficiary in your life insurance policy or your retirement plan. Simply contact your insurance agent or retirement administrator and give them the following legal information:

Central Washington University Foundation
Tax identification number 23-7017467
400 East University Way
Ellensburg, WA 98926-7508

For more options on giving through your life insurance or retirement assets, please visit our Life Insurance or Retirement Assets pages.

Please notify the Office of Gift and Estate Planning so we may add your name as a member of the CWU Legacy Society and to assist you in completing a Gift Agreement so we may respect your wishes upon receipt of the proceeds.
