⏰ You’re Early. We Like Your Enthusiasm.
Giving Tuesday hasn’t "officially" started, but you don’t have to wait to be part of what’s ahead at Western.
Maybe the Athletics Challenge brought you here. Maybe you were exploring ways to support WIU.
Either way, you’re in the right place, and your early gift is welcome.
You can help students pursue their education, give Leatherneck teams a competitive edge, create opportunities in the arts, reimagine University Libraries, and much more.
We’re still getting this page ready for the big day, so check back as more opportunities take shape. In the meantime, choose an area of Western that matters to you and get us started.
Consider this your invitation to beat the Giving Tuesday rush.
