Endowed Centers: Engaging the World in Innovative Ways

Endowments that support centers at Whitworth University – such as the Dornsife Center for Community Engagement and the Weyerhaeuser Center for Faith & Learning – play a vital role in advancing innovation, research, and community engagement across disciplines. These centers give students and faculty the resources and platforms to address pressing issues with both academic rigor and Christian faith.

Endowed funding ensures that centers can sustain their work and expand their reach, offering programs, seminars, internships, and service opportunities that enrich the Whitworth experience. With stable support, centers can respond to emerging needs, forge new partnerships, and provide students with experiences that prepare them to lead and serve in a complex world.

Looking ahead, endowed gifts also make possible the creation of new centers, opening fresh avenues for scholarship, faith integration, and innovation. By supporting endowed centers, you help Whitworth nurture a thriving academic community—one equipped to make a lasting impact locally and globally.
