The UW Annual Fund . . . Reaching New Heights


"Gifts to the Annual Fund are the lifeblood of the university. They make possible a plethora of special uses and projects that would otherwise go unfunded. Donors giving major gifts should always remember to continue their annual fund support. And anyone giving for the first time should understand that this is a critical area. Without the Annual Fund, the university would lose its heartbeat."
- Alan K. Simpson,
  Class of 1954


The UW Annual Fund
The UW Annual Fund is the only fundraising program of the university that reaches all alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends on a yearly basis to offer giving opportunities for direct support of UW’s colleges, departments and programs. The UW Annual Fund focuses on acquiring regular, yearly contributions, thus creating a dependable and very important source of non-legislative support for Wyoming’s university.

Although the State of Wyoming provides the base of funding UW needs to operate a modern university, it takes the annual support of alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends to help UW’s colleges, departments and programs reach new heights. Because of annual gifts, discretionary funds are available when there is a sudden need or a sudden opportunity.

Contributors to the UW Annual Fund may designate their gifts to any area, college, department or program within the university. Please click here to make a gift online using our secure server and help the University of Wyoming reach new heights.
