This site is designed to describe a variety of ways you can make a gift to Western Kentucky University through the WKU Foundation or another University–related foundation. Such gifts make a significant impact upon the University’s goals of teaching, research, and public service while allowing you the personal satisfaction of helping Western play a leadership role in meeting the challenges of the 21st century.

Continuing to enhance our margin of excellence depends on increasing commitments from individuals in the private sector who share the University's vision for the future. The Commonwealth of Kentucky can only guarantee that Western provides a basic level of education, while private support from loyal Western alumni and friends ensures the best faculty, the brightest students, and the most creative research projects.

It is important for you to find the method which best meets your needs while accomplishing you wishes. We hope this site will be helpful in structuring the most appropriate gift for your individual situation.
