Give To A University That Still Puts Jesus First. Always.
When you look at universities today, it can be disconcerting. Many have developed cultures and policies that are antithetical to a Christian worldview. At Northwest University, Jesus is still first in all we do. In our classrooms. In our labs. In our dorms. And in every decision we make. The result is a university that is wholly committed to educating students in the very real presence of Jesus Christ. We always have. We always will.
But we can’t do it without partners like you.
Every dollar you give directly supports scholarships for students who seek to serve Jesus with character, competence, and calling. Thank you for ensuring that the future workforce is led by NU graduates who shine with the light of Christ—trained with excellence to glorify their Creator.

There are many other ways to give to Northwest University!
Opportunity Fund
This fund supplies students with the scholarships and support they need to be successful at Northwest University. You may give cash, complex, or legacy gifts to the Opportunity Fund to help students come—and stay—at NU.
Matching Gifts
If you work for a company that matches gifts to colleges and universities, you may be able to double or triple the impact of your gift to Northwest University. Subsidiaries of parent companies are usually eligible, and retired employees and spouses may qualify as well. Simply ask your personnel office for a matching gift form, follow the instructions for filling out the form, and send the completed form with your gift to:
Development Office
Northwest University
P.O. Box 579
Kirkland, Washington 98083-0579
Stock
One of most common methods of annual charitable giving is through the donation of publicly traded stock to charity. If such stock were sold by the donor, it would incur capital gain. The same stock sold by charity, however, avoids this gain. Northwest University only accepts publicly traded stocks. To give stocks or appreciated assets to NU, contact us.
Legacy Giving
This refers mostly to gifts given through a will or a bequest, and can also include complex gifts like IRA gifts, trust gifts, or donor advised funds. Visit our legacy giving page to learn more.
Annual Scholarships
A wonderful way to honor a friend, a loved one, or a faculty member is by establishing a scholarship in his/her name. In the case of an annual scholarship, the entire amount is awarded in the academic year following the year the gift is made. Once the funds are expended, the scholarship ceases to exist. The scholarship carries the name of the person you wish to honor. A minimum gift of $5,000 ($1,000 per year for 5 years) is required to establish an annual scholarship.
Endowed Scholarships
Beginning with a gift of at least $15,000 within 3 years, a permanently endowed scholarship will bless students for generations to come. Visit our endowed scholarship page to learn more.
