Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thank you for visiting, this crowdfunding campaign has closed.
Please visit the homepage to find another WWU student priority you want to support or you can visit www.wwu.edu/give to make a gift to any area of WWU including this one!
On June 1st Vikings around the globe will unite for a 24-hour fundraising blitz to support students. Together, we will impact WWU by giving to our favorite department, scholarship or program.
We hope you are on this site because you are a proud alumnus, who wants to make a gift in honor of Dina Benedetti and help create a scholarship that will support future teachers for generations to come.
Efforts to create the Dina Benedetti Scholarship Endowment for North Seattle Students began three years ago, with the goal of creating a scholarship fund that would, in perpetuity, provide support for students who are studying for a Bachelor Degree in Education at WWU Education Center, Seattle.
Currently, we have raised $17,515 and only need $2,485 to reach endowment status.
In order to help us reach our goal, Tom and Rebecca Pouliot have generously offered to match up to $1000 of any gifts made on June 1st. Once this specific challenge is met, a percentage of all remaining gifts will be matched by the WWU Give Day Challenge Fund (last year’s general pool match was 40%, so gifts of $100 turned into $140).
