Supporting TWC Financially

Every gift to The Washington Center made by its alumni and friends has a lasting impact  on students. This effect is seen every day when students begin to transform theory into practice, ambition into purpose, and potential into achievement over the course of a semester in Washington, D.C.

• Unrestricted support that goes where it’s most needed.
• Scholarships and programs [6] to bring more students to Washington.
• Endowment [7] and naming opportunities to support TWC well into the future.
• Capital gifts [8] to build and maintain TWC’s campus.
• Attend the Annual Gala [9] to celebrate TWC’s partners and work.
