EWU Foundation Board Member Application

The Eastern Washington University Foundation (a 501(c)(3)) is responsible for all fundraising activity on behalf of Eastern Washington University. It seeks to engage EWU alumni and friends in philanthropic support of the university’s mission:

Eastern Washington University expands opportunities for personal transformation through excellence in learning.

The Foundation’s directors provide external oversight of the Foundation’s operations, and the Executive Director of the Foundation reports to them. The Foundation has a responsibility to be accountable to its constituencies; to its Board of Directors (who serve without remuneration and at their own expense); to Eastern Washington University and its leadership, faculty, staff and students; to its donors; to its volunteers; and to the Advancement team.

It is recommended, but not required, that you contact foundation@ewu.edu prior to filling out the application below. Foundation staff will route your inquiry to a member of the EWU Foundation Board Governance and Nominating Committee who will speak with you about your interest in the board and the expectations of board members.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the application, please contact the EWU Foundation at foundation@ewu.edu or by calling 509.359.6252.
