Development

Guided by the University’s mission, PNWU Development strives to support our students and campus through strategic fundraising and engagement efforts. As a private non-profit institution, PNWU relies on charitable donations as an important source of revenue. Your support makes it possible for us to recruit future doctors from rural and medically underserved areas throughout the Northwest, provide them with training from well-qualified faculty and ultimately, return them to the communities that need them most, as caring physicians.

Every gift, big or small, helps PNWU fulfill our mission. The Development Team is here to assist you in creating a lasting impact on our campus as well as meeting your philanthropic and financial goals. If you have any questions regarding current or future charitable contributions to PNWU, we welcome hearing from you soon.
