Colonial Insiders
Many gifts to GW come from those with a direct affiliation to the University. From newly graduating students and alumni of all ages, to parents whose investment in GW goes beyond the needs of their own children, our donors join giving programs that showcase their GW relationship.
Student Giving
Each year, GW’s senior class generates a class gift as an expression of appreciation. Classmates rally one another to give back what they can so that future students can share the rich experience of a GW education.
Reunion Campaigns
Reunions mean more than a chance to reconnect and reminisce. Through a reunion gift, alumni have an opportunity to build a meaningful legacy of support.
Parents Campaign
Parents of GW students are an essential part of our community, providing vital support for their children’s academic aspirations. The GW Parents Campaign helps them enhance and expand their role and impact.
Faculty and Staff Campaign
Faculty and staff are dedicated to realizing GW’s goals. To that end, they contribute vital time and talent every day. The Faculty and Staff Campaign offers one more way to invest in a great institution.
