The Forest

At Wake Forest, The Forest is more than just a place to live – it’s a vibrant, integrated learning environment where students thrive. Our residential commons model is intentionally designed to connect students to the resources they need, fostering a deeply supportive community. On Deacs Day of Giving, your gift to The Forest initiative directly enhances this unique experience, ensuring students have a true home where living and learning are inseparable. Invest in the heart of the Wake Forest experience. Give to The Forest today and help us cultivate a transformative residential community.

Leadership Education

At Wake Forest, we believe leadership is a process, not just a position. Our 
Leadership Engagement initiatives empower all students to discover their potential, identify their strengths, and lead lives of meaning and purpose. On Deacs Day of Giving, your gift helps us expand access to these transformative programs, including CliftonStrengths, LeaderShape Institute, and practical leadership experiences. Invest in the next generation of impactful leaders. Give to Leadership Engagement today and help us cultivate a community of courageous and ethical Deacs.

Student Experience Fund

The Wake Forest Fund for the Student Experience is intended to provide support for co-curricular activities and programs that enhance the lives and learning of Wake Forest students. This fund supports a wide variety of activities and opportunities for students outside of the classroom, ranging from support for the Women’s Center to Club Sports to service-learning trips to Student Government and more.

Chaplain’s Emergency Fund

The Chaplain’s Emergency fund was created to help Faculty, Staff, and Students in times of financial hardship. This includes individuals that work on the Wake Forest University Reynolda Campus, Graylyn, Wake Downtown or are employed by an outside contracted group.

Student-Athlete Experience

A Deacon Club membership is an investment in a World-Class Student-Athlete Experience for all 400+ student-athletes through scholarships, nutrition, wellness, strength and conditioning, and technology. Donor investments in our athletics programs give us a clear advantage as we strive to not only compete, but to achieve excellence, at the highest levels.
