The Art of Giving

A Story for the Ages, Thanks to You!

Thanks to you and Evergreen's remarkable community of supporters, over $389,000 was raised for the Evergreen Scholarship Fund during this year’s Art of Giving. Your collective efforts contributed to a vibrant community celebration of student potential and will provide a vast variety of scholarships in the 2024-2025 academic year!

  • You’re propelling students from all walks of life towards the commencement stage.
  • You’re offering second chances with the Returning Greeners Scholarship, assisting students who had to pause their education in returning to fulfill their college aspirations.
  • You’re empowering leaders like Onya Robertson '23, MPA '25 who eloquently expressed at the gala, “Through scholarships, I found not only the means to pursue my dreams but also the affirmation that they were worth chasing.”

Whether you donated during the event or contributed online to encourage our students from afar, your presence and enthusiasm were palpable, making this year’s Art of Giving both special and successful. We eagerly anticipate the next chapters for our scholarship recipients and the opportunity to rally again to support their narratives of success.

About the Art of Giving

The Art of Giving gala, an integral event in The Evergreen State College Foundation’s annual calendar, stands as a vibrant celebration of student potential and a cornerstone of scholarship fundraising. This campaign event serves a critical purpose by ensuring that students have the support they need to persevere, complete their degrees, and contribute to both local and global communities. The funds raised through Art of Giving go to the Evergreen Scholarship Fund, which enables the college to provide essential support for a diverse student body, including first-generation college students, students of color, veterans, and adult learners. This success also fosters programs like the Returning Greeners Scholarship, offering a lifeline to students who had to pause their educational journey, allowing them to revive their college aspirations.
