With Gratitude

In April, Wake Forest hosted the 2026 Benefactor Dinner honoring the commitment of alumni, families, and friends who create scholarship opportunities for students. We are incredibly thankful for all of the individuals who passionately support access to education for current and future Wake Forest students.
Because of the generosity of many donors, students are able to pursue their education and follow their passions at Wake Forest. Thank you to the donors who have made all of this possible.
