The mission of University of the West is to provide a whole-person education in a context informed by Buddhist wisdom and values, and to facilitate cultural understanding and appreciation between East and West.

As a small non-profit, private university, University of the West relies heavily on the support of our community in aiding the mission towards providing access to a quality education. As a 501(c), 100% of your gift is tax deductible.

Your donations provide crucial funds that touch the lives of countless students in a variety of ways, ranging from scholarships that expand access to higher education, general operation donations that improve the quality of student life at UWest, and endowments that keep the university going for years to come. The members of the UWest Foundation Office play a pivotal role in transforming the lives of our students.
