Fundraising Priorities


The Futures Campaign is built on three pillars—opportunity, experience, and impact—and every gift to CWU's fundraising priorities advances all three. To that end, an ambitious goal of $75 million in gifts and commitments has been set for the Futures Campaign.  

Whether supporting a critical scholarship, a career-connected learning program, or a unit that enriches the entire campus, donor generosity helps CWU develop the skilled, engaged graduates Washington needs most.
