The Wright State University's Excellence Fund is the university's yearly program that seeks unrestricted gifts that support the ongoing needs of the university in addition to those gifts designated for specific schools and academic departments. Unrestricted gifts are vitally important to the institution because they provide long-term strength and stability to the educational and research enterprises at WSU by allowing the university's leadership to meet the highest priority needs, respond to unforeseen opportunities, and invest in emerging areas of high potential. Your annual gift is a vote of confidence in Wright State University, its mission and the future success of tomorrow's leaders.

Your gift to the WSU Excellence Fund provides the margin of excellence -- the difference between a university that offers solid academic programs and one the offers outstanding and innovative programs.
Your annual gift provides state-of-the-art technology in our classrooms and laboratories, competitive salaries for a world-class faculty, and critically needed financial aid, which helps ensure that higher education remains accessible to all students. In addition to sustaining current programs, your gifts also allows Wright State to fund educational initiatives that respond to our changing world.

You can further increase the impact of your gift.
There are thousands of companies that offer active, and sometimes retired, employees and spouses an opportunity to multiply their contribution to Wright State University by matching their gift. While most corporations provide a 1:1 match, some elect to further leverage their employees' philanthropy by providing a greater matching amount. Because employers consider matching gifts a benefit to their employees, your human resource department or personnel office will be the likely source to provide you with the necessary forms. For more information on matching gifts, please contact the Director of Annual Giving at (800) 535-0688, (937) 775-2947 or view a list of matching gift companies.
