Donate to Connected Learning

We are grateful for the donations that allow us to create student programs.

These programs provide valuable career-readiness skills, stipends, scholarships, and the opportunity to find community through hands-on experience. While some of our programs are funded through endowments, others are made possible by generous gifts from businesses and organizations. We also appreciate the support of individuals who contribute during Husky Giving day.

Your gifts make a difference.

Husky Giving Day was April 4

On Husky Giving Day, our campus held a “philanthro-party” on the UW Bothell plaza where students were invited to allocate $20,000 across five different campus priorities, using funds donated by members of the Chancellor’s Philanthropy Leadership Council. Each student voted where they wanted the funds to go – Connected Learning came in second place, with $4,600! Watch the video below.
