Thank you for your interest in donating to Mortar Board Alumni / Tolo Foundation.  One of the three tenets of Mortar Board is Scholarship, so we are seeking with this page to make it easier and more convenient for you to become an active participant in our efforts to support students of achievement at the University of Washington.  Past award recipients have studied and conducted research in topics ranging from the gap between nutrition and medicine… to renewable energy, oncology, improving financial literacy so that financial services are available to all… and much more.  Donations from Mortar Board alumni and friends are vital to continuing this hugely important part of our mission.

Tolo Foundation – Greatest Need

While the Board does its best to keep administrative costs to a minimum, a budget is needed to maintain the website, pay postage and printing costs for the annual report, and keep our 501c3 status with the IRS.  Occasionally, general funds are used to augment scholarship awards.  Please click below to donate to the general operating fund that allows us to do the necessary behind-the-scenes work to keep the Foundation running.
