Ruckelshaus Center Endowment Fund
About Your Gift
- WSU handles the donation processing for the Ruckelshaus Center as part of the joint agreement between the University of Washington and Washington State University. The links above will take you to the WSU donation page but rest assured that your gift is being directed into the Ruckelshaus Center Impact Fund or the Ruckelshaus Center Endowment Fund (whichever you select) from the fund links.
- Gifts over $1,000 make you a member in the Ruckelshaus Circle, and provide you with occasional Insider News, complimentary admission to our Ruckelshaus Circle Luncheon, Statespersonship Luncheon, and other special opportunities and events.
- Your gift qualifies for soft credit at both Washington State University and University of Washington. If you would like to not receive soft credit at one or both of the universities, please contact Chris Page by email or call 206.770.6060.
- Gifts are tax-deductible as permitted by law.
- The Center’s EIN: 20-4490085
