Annual Report & Donor Honor Roll
Each year, the WSU Foundation shares our successes from the year prior and our plans for the year ahead. But even more importantly, we take a moment to pause, recognize and say thank you to all our donors who make it possible.
It’s with your support and partnership that we are able to continue working to advance the University’s critical education mission.
Below you will find our FY18 Annual Report & Donor Honor Roll. We invite you to take a moment to both reflect on FY18 and look ahead with us.
Now partway through FY19, the WSU Foundation continues to raise funds for The Power of Experience: A Campaign for Winona State.
This campaign is a combination of three university-wide initiatives, each one will have lasting impact on WSU and its students. Learn more about what these projects mean for Winona State.
