You can designate your gift to benefit one or more areas of your choosing, or make an unrestricted gift, meaning the funds will be used where the need is greatest at the College. Your final choice depends upon your personal priorities, financial status and charitable goals. An outright gift is the simplest and most common way of making a contribution to the Fort Lewis College Foundation, usually in the form of cash, check or credit card.
