Give to W. P. Carey
Both Mike Olsen (BS Finance ’84, MBA ’90) and Dawn Olsen (BS Accountancy ’93) view philanthropy as a form of investing — and investing in ASU as an opportunity to change lives. “The social return from an investment in someone’s education is incredibly impactful — for the student, us personally, and our community,” Dawn says.
The opportunity to attend college is the first of many made possible by alumni giving. Take action to enable more dreams.

Advisory boards and councils

Community Impact
Alumni gifts of time, money, and knowledge are critical to our advancement in education, research, and beyond. Together, we can transform lives and advance the common good like never before.
Gifts of all sizes make a difference.
Even pocket change can add up to make an impact. To put things in perspective, it would take donations of just:
- $1 from 50 alumni to support four hours of free tutoring for a student
- $5 from 40 alumni to send a student to a case competition
- $5 from 80 alumni to cover a student’s textbooks for the semester
- $10 from 1,000 alumni to support a networking event for students to connect with professionals
Now imagine the power of your pocket change, pooled with that of 100,000+ fellow business alums. See how your contributions can help build the future of business.
How will you engage?
From events to mentorship to guest speaking and more, there are many ways to give back, get involved, and stay engaged with your alma mater.
