Greetings from the Palouse.
Washington State University continued its fundraising success with more than $154.3 million in philanthropic activity during Fiscal Year 2024, which ended June 30. Thanks to your generous investment, WSU realized its second-best fundraising year ever and the third straight year topping $150 million.
Our gathering momentum in FY24 is a testament to the leadership, generosity, and enthusiasm from each of our 25,855 alumni, friends, and industry partners who continue to give selflessly and purposefully in support of WSU and its land-grant mission. Thank you for your remarkable investment in Washington State University.
Your commitment to WSU makes a real impact on real lives. Support for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students opens doors to transformative educational and experiential learning opportunities. Resources for WSU’s talented faculty and the research they lead advance the discoveries that will improve lives, communities, and industries throughout the state of Washington, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. Investments in infrastructure system-wide ensure all of this can happen in facilities that are as exceptional as the learning and innovation that happen inside their walls every day.
I invite you to explore this impact report and the philanthropic highlights that helped to define the past fiscal year for WSU. Whether we are passionate graduates of WSU, proud family of a current student, or we are choosing to sustain or advance a WSU initiative that is close to our hearts, we are all Cougs. Thank you, again, for your generous and impactful investment to advance accessible and exceptional public higher education in Pullman, Everett, Spokane, the Tri-Cities, Vancouver, across the state, and around the globe.
Thank you and Go Cougs!
