Case Western Reserve University is governed by the Board of Trustees, who volunteer their time and expertise to sustain the university's physical and financial assets and enhance the long-term welfare of the university. In support of the university's vision, the trustees executed a Trustee Vision Acceleration Campaign, which resulted in trustee contributions totaling $21 million to date. The trustees also contribute to a Trustee Annual Fund, which is allocated each year to support a designated program such as diversity, athletics, and the library.
