Executive Summary & Strategic Compass
The WVU Foundation is now in the final year of its second five-year strategic plan. Since 2015, the Foundation has experienced nothing short of a major transformation. This latest plan has supported strategic initiatives aimed at boosting student success, advancing health and wellness, and discovering solutions to real-world problems.
The plan has guided the WVU Foundation to yet a new pinnacle of excellence, working as a strong partner across all aspects of the WVU community. The plan is centered on four pillars forming a Strategic Compass: Purpose, Engagement, Talent, and Impact. Like the 2015-2020 Strategic Plan, this roadmap has been equally ambitious. When accomplished next year, it will once again move the WVU Foundation to new levels of success in providing philanthropic support to its partners at WVU and WVU Medicine. Work is already underway on creating a third five-year strategic plan to be approved by the Foundation Board of Directors in June 2025.
