The Power of Collective Giving

When like-minded people come together to support causes they are passionate about, their support can elevate programs and initiatives to levels of remarkable achievement. Such is true when Radford University supporters and friends embrace the mission of our university and give of their time and financial resources to turn Radford’s goals into successes and dreams into realities. Working together, our impact has been significant, but the work continues.

Radford University embarked on an ambitious campaign to raise $100 million to support what we hold dear: educating our students.

TOGETHER – The Campaign for Radford University has garnered significant support and raised more than $90 million!

Since the campaign’s public launch in April 2021, your support has empowered us to create more than 140 new scholarships. We celebrate your commitment to ensuring access to a Radford education!

Many donors have given to support our priorities: Access and Opportunity; Academic Excellence and Research; Student Success and Engagement; The Athletic Experience; and Emerging Needs. You are proving that together, we can provide a foundation from which Radford University can grow and excel in educating today’s students and beyond.

We are engaged in a fierce pursuit to be the best educational provider for future leaders in fields that impact our communities and nation – education, healthcare and science and technology. We must continue to share the good work of Radford University through the people who are passionate about learning and working at Radford, those who engage with our many programs and those who are dedicated to ensuring our success by giving to support us where needs are critical and important to the university’s growth and student success. We must keep the momentum going!
