The College of Western Idaho says its first major fundraising campaign was a $33 million success.

On Tuesday, CWI said its Powering the Treasure Valley campaign had exceeded its $30 million goal — funding capital projects and scholarships at the state’s largest community college.

“This campaign has always been about our students,” CWI President Gordon Jones said in a news release Tuesday. “Every gift has helped create more opportunities for students to pursue an education, develop the skills employers need, and build a future close to home.”

The campaign, launched in July 2023, will leave an imprint across CWI’s landscape.

Money will go toward three capital projects on the Nampa campus: The campaign helped fund the Norco Health & Science Building and Agricultural Sciences Complex, which both opened in 2025, and the CapEd Student Success Center, a student services complex that opened earlier this year.

Campaign funds will also go toward the CWI downtown Boise campus and the Micron Academic Center, which is expected to open in fall 2027.

CWI says the campaign also supports student aid. Since the launch in 2023, CWI has increased its annual scholarship awards from $609,000 to more than $1 million this year.

However, the completed fundraising campaign won’t support two other high-profile initiatives on CWI’s radar.

This money will not go toward deferred maintenance on the recently acquired Ford Idaho Center, although college officials have said fundraising will be a component in covering the $25 million in maintenance costs.

This money also will not go toward an endowment-based initiative to launch CWI’s first intercollegiate athletics programs.

“When CWI launched Powering the Treasure Valley … we committed to two priorities: improving the student experience and adding capacity so we can serve more students,” college spokesman Ashley Smith said in a text Tuesday.
