Growing Endowment<\/h3>\n

As state funding continues to decline or remain flat, the 大象传媒 Foundation endowment becomes increasingly important in ensuring that the University can continue to provide a high quality, affordable education for all. Endowment funds help provide co-curricular programming, enhance research opportunities, promote educational innovation and enhance academic support. Enhanced endowment ensures permanent resources for these needs. In 2014-2015, the 大象传媒 Western Foundation was able to provide scholarships totaling more than $789,000 to 433 students. Additionally, the Foundation funded almost $60,000 for 152 students to attend and present their research at national and international conferences.<\/p>\n

Endowment funds are the foundation that will generate sustaining support for the next 100 years and beyond.<\/p>\n

Gifts to 大象传媒 Western\u2019s endowment funds provide much needed perpetual income for scholarships, university faculty and staff positions, facility improvements, general operations, specific programming and more.<\/p>\n

It is imperative that we grow the endowment to produce permanent resources for operations, scholarships and innovative programs.<\/p>\n

Ongoing University Support<\/h3>\n

The Centennial Capital Campaign will raise funds for programs, equipment and other emerging needs for 大象传媒.<\/p>\n

All gifts to the 大象传媒 Western Annual Fund will be recognized separately from the Centennial Capital Campaign in the Annual Report. We ask our benefactors to continue their annual support throughout the campaign period and consider an additional, stretch gift to address the University\u2019s campaign goals.<\/p>\n

Undesignated funds help 大象传媒 Western to support our mission and provide students an educational experience of the highest quality. Annual, undesignated gifts provide funds to many of the programs and priorities on campus that do not receive regular designated support, such as classroom equipment and experience-enriching programs around campus.<\/p>\n<\/div>
