Trustees are invited to visit the new My Giving area of our website and provide feedback.

We’ve improved an area of our website, and invite trustees to help us evaluate it!

This fall, we launched major enhancements to My Giving History, an area of our website where donors can access their past giving information. The new improvement built on that core capability with graphics that help donors visualize the areas where they have made an impact. It also offers the new ability to download scholarship and endowment reports for those who have established funds.

We would appreciate your feedback on these improvements. Click here to try out My Giving. Please send feedback to Susan Wolf Berhow at 785-532-7616 or susanb@found.ksu.edu.

Loyal K-State donors and friends are just part of the reason “there’s no place like purple.” This video, released in December, served as a way to thank K-Staters for another year of generosity. It’s also a great example of KSU Foundation’s in-house video production capabilities.

Reports from the standing committees of the foundation were given by their respective chairs at the Board of Directors’ meeting on Dec. 12, 2014. Click on the committee name to see the full report.
