Annual Giving

Annual giving is an important source of private financial support that ensures students receive a quality education at WVU. Annual giving provides vital resources that allow WVU to excel as a world-class research facility and an exemplary teaching institution. Those resources also enable the University to perform services and outreach to the state, region and nation, thus fulfilling its land-grant mission.
