Washburn University has a longstanding tradition of academic excellence, a teaching-first commitment to its students. That commitment requires ongoing financial support, especially in today’s environment of increasingly tight budgets.

Several of our campus partners have expressed the need for additional funding for departmental initiatives, and the role the Washburn University Alumni Association and Foundation might play in securing funding for these projects.

To that end, the Foundation has launched a new initiative, Impact, to help raise funds for specific departmental requests that are not covered in the budget process with the goal to raise funds for specific projects that will have a positive impact on our students’ learning experiences.
