Meet our donors
Our donors have a major impact on the programs and scholarships they support through their philanthropy. For every Wageningen University Fund donor, there is a special story to be told. Their reasons for giving vary. For some, it is a chance to give back to the alma mater that gave them so much. Others appreciate the role Wageningen University plays in finding solutions to the pressing challenges of our time. Still others give because they have spent their careers at Wageningen University, and want to leave a lasting mark on the university.
Donors' contributions make an invaluable difference to the Wageningen community and we are pleased to share some of their stories with you.
