Memorials on campus
A tribute gift is a meaningful way to convey sympathy to the bereaved, memorialize a loved one, commemorate a special occasion or honor a person’s life and accomplishments.
Memorial benches and trees provide an opportunity to commemorate your loved ones and beautify the UW campus. Memorial Trees can be dedicated with a gift of $7,500 to help procure and plant the memorial tree. Memorial Benches can be dedicated with a gift of $7,500 which helps offsets the cost of procurement and installation of the bench and the plaque.
Together we will work with you to:
- Find a space on campus for your bench or tree.
- Arrange to have space reserved if you wish to have a dedication or planting ceremony.
- Add your gift to a public database which states location of memorial, and the person honored/memorialized.
If you would like to establish a memorial bench or tree, please contact Contact Grounds Management to request a memorial bench at 206-255-0645 or shoress@uw.edu.
If you choose to make your payment online ($1,000 for a tree, $7,500 for a bench) please include the name of the honoree and your phone number so we may follow up with you. Thank you.
