Records were definitely harmed in the making of this fiscal year.

This year, the Fundlovers once again showed why they are the most loyal donors of the Wake Forest giving universe. You read the emails, liked the posts, visited the sites and stepped up in just about every way possible on our path to a record-breaking year for the hardest working Fund in the Forest.

And it means your generosity will be felt by countless deserving students and faculty in every corner of the Wake Forest experience. So raise a glass, Deacs. You really did it this time.


Give to something that could
change everything.


This is how the fund that’s all over the place brings Wake Forest together. Not only does a gift to the Wake Forest Fund set in motion a chain of events that keeps the best and brightest on campus and increases the value of your degree, it’s also a direct investment in those with the potential to change our world for the better.

At any amount, your gift makes a real difference.

Student financial aid, faculty development, emerging programs for students, library and technology resources and facilities renovation – these opportunities, and many more, are possible because of unrestricted gifts to the Wake Forest Fund.

The Wake Forest Fund is the annual fund of Wake Forest University. It fills the void between where tuition dollars end and endowment funds begin. This support directly impacts the student experience on our campus. It reinforces our mission to create opportunity, educate the whole person and inspire excellence so our students can lead lives that matter.
