UW Foundation

Corporate and Foundation Development

Engaged corporations and foundations are vital to the future of Wyoming's university.

Some of the biggest impacts across the University of Wyoming campus have come from the support of corporations and foundations.  Student by student, corporation- and foundation-supported scholarships have built a wealth of human capital. Gifts campus-wide have built buildings, created whole new programs, and underwritten research that changes the world as we know it.

Together, UW and its partners are helping to create the world of the future.

 

Why Corporations and Foundations Give

Foundations give because it is part of their core mission. Within closely defined parameters, foundations seek to make the world a better place. Corporations also give for the same reason—because they want to be good corporate citizens in their communities.  Both also seek a return on investment—that is, measureable outcomes confirm that they've made smart philanthropic decisions.

The UW Foundation strives in every way to honor this contract. 

 

Corporations Who Match Their Employees' Charitable Gifts

Some corporations match the charitable gifts of their employees. You can search to see if your company matches your gifts here, or check with your human resources department to see if the company you work for has a matching program. You can also check if your company matches gifts while checking out using UW's online giving form.
