Fund Your Passion!

On April 10, 2019, the WSU Cougar family will come together for a celebration of philanthropy, achievement, and generosity. Every year, tens of thousands of loyal Cougs generously give back to Washington State University in support of student success, research excellence, and a transformational impact in the state of Washington and beyond.

 

We know the WSU student experience is unique and unforgettable. Along the way, generous donors give back to support scholarships, experiences, leadership development, career preparation, travel, and more. #CougsGive is the day we celebrate the impact of philanthropy and invest in the next generation of Cougs!
