Butch’s Club membership is based on the total gifts received by the WSU Foundation in a single fiscal year (July 1-June 30). All annual members receive invitations to exclusive events, opportunities to interact with University leadership, special communications from the WSU Foundation, and more. Most of all, members of Butch’s Club receive the satisfaction of knowing they are truly changing lives at Washington State University.

- Laureates are recognized for cumulative lifetime gifts of $1 million or more.
- Laureates who reach the $5 and $10 million threshold in cumulative lifetime giving will be honored with custom stewardship experiences.
