Donors

The Institute for Energy Studies is supported with public funds from the State of Washington, philanthropic giving from our Industry Partners, as well as generous gifts from individuals. Private support allows the Institute to directly support student learning through scholarships, travel to conferences, and provides research opportunities. It also allows innovation in designing new classes, funds the purchasing of laboratory equipment, and connects the Institute to the broader energy community by supporting symposia and visiting scholars. 

With deep appreciation, Western proudly acknowledges the support of our founding contributors to the Institute for Energy Studies. Their generous gifts provided the foundation of support upon which this innovative program is built. The following listing is for cumulative gifts and pledges.
