WSU Foundation Impact Report
Another record-breaking year!
The WSU Foundation’s FY2023 Impact Report shines a light on your generosity and the role it plays to advance teaching, learning, and discovery across the WSU system.
Every gift to WSU has a story behind it—a story about:
- Your desire to “pay it forward,” to help WSU students, to make a difference
- Your belief in the power of education to change lives
- Your hope for the future, and
- Your love of all things Coug
Your stories open doors for tomorrow’s leaders, fuel discoveries through research, and create opportunities in the communities WSU serves.
