The Fort Lewis College Foundation is a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization that supports Fort Lewis College by enriching educational and cultural opportunities through encouraging and stewarding gifts for scholarships, programs, and facilities - wise investments in the leaders of tomorrow. We began in 1969 with an $18,700 gift from Mrs. T. Chase McPherson. Today, our total assets are over $20 million. We use these funds to provide student scholarships and other programs that contribute to the academic and cultural enrichment of the campus and its students.
