There are numerous opportunities for named gifts rights of classrooms, labs and common areas. Pledged gifts can be made over a period of time to garner an appropriate marker bearing a family or company name.

Donors may establish named endowments to offer living tributes and memorials to family and friends. The created fund benefits current and future students and programs for years to come. The principal in the fund is never touched. Only the interest is used to make annual awards. The endowment may be funded over a period of time to reach the designed amount to generate needed funds.

Gifts-in-kind are gifts of property that are voluntarily transferred by a donor to WSU Tech without compensation. These gifts may include equipment, vehicles, materials, supplies, artwork and other personal property a donor might give to WSU Tech. Gifts of services are not considered to be a tax-deductible contribution.

The donor and/or department representative completes the Gift-In-Kind Form. The department head or dean shall sign the form where appropriate and send to the Foundation for receipting. It is important to designate the department that the gift is to be credited to. All donors receive a charitable tax receipt or acknowledgement for all donated items upon acceptance of approved and completed form.
