Each year, GW relies on the collective power of alumni gifts. This fall, your gift can have an even greater impact.
An anonymous alumni donor has issued a challenge to GW: If 9,000 alumni contribute by December 31, he will make a gift of $100,000 to the Power & Promise Fund for student aid. To help GW meet this challenge, make your gift online today!
