#CougsGive

Ten Years of #CougsGive!

What began in 2015 as a fun way to celebrate Washington State University's 125th birthday has now grown into our annual systemwide celebration of the Cougar Family! Since that time, Cougs have generously made 10,253 gifts for more than $4.5 million in support of scholarships, research, programs, innovative learning, leadership development, student activities, and more!

Over the past decade, our alumni, students, faculty, staff, and donors have shared so many great stories about why WSU is so special to them, what inspires them to give back to their communities, and how they share their Cougar spirit!

On April 16, 2025, please join us in telling your own WSU story as a CougsGive Ambassador, sharing what Washington State University means to you, reading about all the amazing projects and programs in the WSU System, and making your own gifts to the areas that mean the most to you!
