The Impact of Your Support

Submitted by Diana Knight on
Baccalaureates at the departmental commencement celebration in June 2023.

Our capacity for excellence in research and teaching is a direct result of hundreds of friends and alumni coming together to support the department’s work each year. With your help, we are educating the next generation of leading scientists, advancing the field of chemistry, and accelerating vital scientific discoveries.

In the past year, your gifts have made a tangible impact on:

  • Recruiting the top graduate student applicants by providing generous fellowship support
  • Strengthening research programs by expanding professional development activities, salary support, and lab equipment through endowed professorships
  • Supporting undergraduate students by funding awards, scholarships, and research stipends
  • Investing in staff through continuing education and training
  • Sustaining the culture, community, and education of students and postdocs by funding lectures, community building events, and student clubs

As we look to the future, we see significant potential: to invest in our research infrastructure, to provide professional development and research opportunities for our undergraduate and graduate students and postdocs, to advance evidence-based equity-minded practices in chemical sciences education, research and mentoring at the UW. Donor support – both annual gifts and endowment funding – will play a major role in helping us achieve this vision. We hope you will consider investing in our students, faculty and research with a gift today.

  • Make your gift online
  • Mail your gift to the UW Foundation, Box 359505, Seattle, WA 98195
    • Make check payable to the UW Foundation
    • Indicate on the memo line or enclosed note how you want your gift allocated. The Friends of Chemistry Fund (CHEDIS) provides unrestricted support

Thank you for your generosity and for being a part of our community.

We recognize here donors who contributed to our fellowships and programs from June 1, 2022, through May 31, 2023. If your name is missing or misspelled, we apologize and hope you will let us know.
