Eagles Give Newsletter: Fall 2024

Hello, Fellow Eagles,

As the holidays approach, I’m reminded of how grateful our campus community is for amazing supporters like you. Thank you for being part of Eastern – and for pitching in to create life-changing opportunities for students!

You may already know about Build Our Future, the EWU Foundation’s 10-year campaign for Eastern. In October, we transitioned out of the seven-year “silent phase” into the campaign’s final phase. The secret is out!

I’m proud to say our university’s first-ever ‘comprehensive’ campaign has raised $68,415,200 to enhance programs, support special projects, and transform obstacles into opportunities for Eagles.

Sharing stories about students like Sage Norton makes all the difference. Thanks to our generous community, nearly 5,000 scholarships have been awarded so far during the campaign to ensure that Eastern students have access to a life-changing education with applied-learning experiences that prepare them to succeed as working professionals.

With GivingTuesday around the corner, there are even more ways we can come together to make a difference. (Visit our GivingTuesday webpage to learn how you can help.)

Whatever you give, please know we appreciate you!

Best wishes for a happy holiday season – and Go Eags!
