GW Giving Day | April 3-4, 2024: We’re Counting on Your Support

Next week is an exciting day at George Washington University – it will be Giving Day (April 3-4, 2024), and I’m asking for your support for the GW Investment Institute.

The GW Investment Institute (GWII) teaches GW students how to invest by managing real endowment capital (managing over $9 million). Our team at GWII is dedicated to providing students with tangible skills and tools that they can leverage to advance their careers.

This Giving Day, your support will provide GW Investment Institute students access to FactSet, an industry tool for financial research. FactSet enables our students to become real-world finance practitioners, but we need your help. Our subscription expires on June 30th, and we ask for your help securing $30,000 for this excellent investment in our curriculum. Every dollar counts. What do our students say about FactSet?

“I currently use FactSet for my Applied Financial Securities Analysis class, and I love the platform as it allows me to have great exposure to the markets and also to data analysis. I encourage you all to keep donating for this amazing platform.”
-Gabriela Giraldo, BS Business Administration & Management

“I love using FactSet not only as a student analyst in the Applied Financial Securities Analysis class but also for Vice Dean Lake’s Quantitative Trading Project. FactSet is a crucial part of all of my work across multiple funds at the GW Investment Institute, and I can’t wait to see all the  contributions of students to come.”
-Laura Null, BS Finance & Statistics
We’re counting on you, our dedicated alumni and supporters, to help us reach our goal and continue providing our students with resources for career success. Thank you for supporting experiential learning through the GW Investment Institute.

Raise High!


Rodney Lake
Director, GW Investment Institute
