Giving

Private support is essential to the successful education of tomorrow’s marine and environmental leaders.

Endowed scholarships, fellowships, professorships, and chairs, along with flexible unrestricted gifts can translate into real opportunities for our students and faculty. Our continued success depends on your partnership.

There are a number of options for giving to SMEA, and we want your gift to be meaningful to you by allowing you to support the causes that matter most to you.

Please visit the UW Foundation web site to contribute to any of SMEA’s priority funds, all of which allow SMEA to make strategic investments in students, faculty, and the program as a whole.

In addition to the School’s priority funds, you can also give to SMEA in one of the following ways:

  1. Establish an Endowment: This designates a permanent fund that generates income toward an area you want to support.
  2. Make a Gift of Securities: Transferring stock to the University of Washington is a simple transaction with big benefits for the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs.
  3. Create a Gift Plan: Incorporate your philanthropy with your estate planning.

For questions, please contact our Advancement Officer Ben Johns at bkj108@uw.edu or 206-221-0562.
