Building a Culture

“My vision for the Foundation is that we build a culture of philanthropy starting from the day freshmen move into the residence halls, throughout their life as a student and an alum.”

— Jason Williby, President/CEO

The Fort Hays State University Foundation is committed to cultivating lasting relationships with alumni, friends, corporations and other organizations that have a passion for Fort Hays State University and want to continue its legacy of excellence.

Our goal is to match our donors’ interests with a wide variety of initiatives across campus.
