About the UW Foundation
The University of Wyoming Foundation is an independent nonprofit corporation dedicated to securing, managing, and stewarding private gifts in support of the University of Wyoming's missions in teaching, research, and public service. Because UW is the state's premier four-year institution of higher education, private support from alumni and friends has never been more important.

It has been and continues to be built upon the relationships of its many contributors. A prime example is the new Sullivan Family Student Center within the College of Education. The college needed a place where students could gather, and an opportunity presented itself to further enhance the Education Annex, which had been remodeled in recent years to accommodate technologically enhanced classrooms.
