West Point READY Campaign Case Statement

Steeped in our Nation’s history. Prepared for the complex challenges of today. Ready to lead into the future. West Point is a singular institution. The lessons learned and sacrifices made by centuries of West Point graduates continue to influence and inspire current and future leaders. West Point’s rich history gives it a unique vantage point, allowing it to adapt to new circumstances and remain agile in uncertain times. It learns from its history, it evolves, and new leaders are developed. West Point will always occupy a crucial role in our Nation’s founding. It will always reflect the ideals and values our Army and Nation hold most dear, and it will always honor the timeless traditions that define the West Point experience. But, this treasured institution must also represent our future. It must ensure our cadets and graduates have access to modern, innovative, and exceptional facilities and offerings. It’s not enough for the Academy to just meet the needs of our Nation’s future leaders; it must elevate itself to unprecedented levels. It must maintain its competitive edge over other elite institutions and continue to forge new territory within all domains of leadership development. It must invest in its future as much as it honors its history so that it continues to evolve, attract the Nation’s best and brightest, and develop the next generation of great leaders. West Point Ready is a $600 million comprehensive fundraising campaign designed to advance modernization and innovation at West Point. Complementing the $3 billion government infrastructure investment embedded in the USMA 2035 facilities plan, West Point Ready calls on all of us—as graduates, families, and friends— to invest in the future of West Point as the premier leader development institution in the world. Together we stand Ready to Serve. Ready to Lead.
