Corporate Giving

As a regional comprehensive university, Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ works diligently to partner with and serve businesses and industry across the western North Carolina region. One way we partner is through philanthropic relationships, in which we work with businesses, industry organizations, private corporations and corporate foundations to align gifts to the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµFoundation with their business goals and philanthropic missions.

We invite you to visit our main campus in Cullowhee as well as our instructional site in Asheville at Biltmore Park learn more about our university and how we can partner. To set up a visit, Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµAdvancement at advancement@wcu.edu or call 828.227.7124.
