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.

Faculty/Staff Giving

Each year, WVU faculty and staff make gifts to financially strengthen the University. Generous internal financial contributions are an excellent example of how faculty and staff support the University beyond their day-to-day responsibilities.
