This builds on the strong momentum of FY23, which topped $167.9 million in total fundraising. In FY24, donors supported over 1,000 unique projects and initiatives system-wide, benefiting academic, research, and outreach efforts in every college and at each of the university’s six campuses, as well as research and extension centers across the state. In addition, $25.9 million was distributed from the WSU Foundation’s Consolidated Endowment during FY24 to support scholarships, faculty positions, research, and other programs systemwide.
