Through an additional endowment, you can increase the capital that is at the WU Foundation’s disposal. In this way, your contribution becomes an integral part of the WU Foundation’s assets, and we use the income it generates to finance various projects. With an appropriate amount, you can make an earmarked additional endowment and establish a named fund within the WU Foundation. This allows you to provide long-term support for a field of research that you care about. The fund can bear your name, ensuring that you will be remembered for your work and support for generations to come.

Our actions have an impact that extends beyond our lifetime. Decisions made in a spirit of responsibility create opportunities for future generations – in education, research, and development. With a bequest, you can ensure that part of your estate goes to the WU Foundation to support academic teaching and research at our institution.

Even a tragic loss can be an opportunity to do something good for future generations. Bereaved families can ask funeral guests to refrain from sending wreaths or flowers and make a donation to the WU Foundation instead. In this way, they can send a powerful message of support in remembrance of the deceased person that will have a lasting positive impact.

As a business university, our close ties to corporate partners are particularly important to us. We firmly believe that working with real-world businesses and practitioners is essential for advancing the development of our university and expanding our knowledge. For this reason, we award the title of Partner of Excellence to companies that support our projects and make a donation of €30,000 to the WU Foundation.
