Support the Husky Experience
Your gift to the UW Parent & Family Fund powers the student emergency fund, 24/7 mental health counselors, Fuel for Finals, and the family programs that surround every Husky. Year-round.
From move-in to graduation, your gift shows up every day.
More than 19,500 students and families touched this year through programs funded by parent and family generosity. The Parent & Family Fund and the Purple & Gold Forever Endowed Fund support emergency aid, 24/7 mental health, campus safety, traditions like UW Family Weekend, and the small moments that build a Husky for life.
Whether you’re giving for the first time or sustaining the work all year, your gift keeps these resources strong.
Parent & Family Fund for Student Success
One of the most impactful ways to support your UW student and all Huskies. The fund powers the resources families count on most: emergency aid, 24/7 mental health, campus safety, and the family programs that surround every Husky.
Purple & Gold Forever For All
Celebrate and sustain what makes the Husky Experience unforgettable for everyone. Your support to this endowed fund ensures these moments are accessible and welcoming to all, now and for generations to come.
Your gift could go even further. Many employers match donations. Check if yours does.

Go Huskies, and be a good human!
Never give up
Thank you for everything you do for our Huskies!!
What I enjoyed most was how everyone at UW participated as a team, that makes me confident my Husky will be in good hands, in a place where she feels safe and will have the proper support.
