The Western Kentucky University Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization incorporated in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Chartered in 1993, it promotes the welfare and future development of Western Kentucky University's educational goals by managing assets and maintaining donor records for the benefit of Western Kentucky University.
The Western Kentucky University Foundation, the official repository for gifts to the University, exists for the benefit of Western Kentucky University. To accomplish its mission, the Foundation provides those services normally associated with a university related foundation, including but not limited to the volunteer leadership, fund solicitation, gift acceptance and acknowledgement, and asset management services.
Accounts are established with the Foundation to allow for funds to be used. There are three basic criteria which determine the proper use of WKU Foundation funds.
1. Western Kentucky University must benefit in an acceptable manner.
2. The use must fall within the donor's intent for the gift.
3. The use must not jeopardize the Foundation's tax-exempt status.
