Make a Gift

 

We're bound for tomorrow, together.
Every new chapter begins with you.

The next chapter in the story of Puget Sound begins now. Every contribution—of ideas and imagination, of time, energy and resources—is an essential step in the journey of a transformative institution. Your participation—as an alumnus, a student, a parent, a friend—has tangible power.

Your gifts help us write the next chapter in the Puget Sound story. They move our community forward in tangible, inspiring, lasting ways. In the end, Puget Sound is a shared enterprise, a community endeavor. We all pitch in, we all give in some way, and everyone benefits.
