Make a Gift

$100,000 in scholarships is on the line.
Will you help?

An anonymous alumni donor has issued GW a $100,000 all or nothing challenge:  If 9,000 alumni contribute by Dec. 31, he will make a gift of $100,000 to the Power & Promise Fund for student aid.

We're more than halfway to our goal, but we need your support to make it over the top.

Please make your annual gift today to ensure $100,000 in scholarships for GW students!
