GOAL #1
To honor our donors, in FY19 we had 34 donor events where we recognized our 143 scholarship donors, 817 historical donors, and 683 scholarship recipients. We currently have 729 donors in the Gold Society, 709 donors in the President’s Society, 323 donors in the 1891 Society, and 173 donors in the Barge Society. We are grateful for our donors who give for consecutive years, with 15 donors giving for 15 years, 62 donors giving for 10 years, 149 donors giving for five years, and 301 donors giving for three years. After changing from a General Scholarship Application (GSA) to Scholarship Central, students were able to apply and be awarded their FY19 funding though Scholarship Central. Philanthropists and Young Philanthropist of the Year awards were named for the first time, naming Ben (’79) and Nancy Remak Philanthropists of the Year and Andrew Mork (’11) Young Philanthropist of the Year . CWU won its first Educational Fundraising Award from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) in “Overall Improvement” for demonstrating significant program growth over three years of data. We expanded our team by creating six new positions across different departments within University Advancement.
