Whether you are an alum reflecting on your Morgantown days, a patient grateful for exceptional care, a fan who feels pride at every Mountaineer touchdown, or a friend passionate about our state’s future, you know that WVU moves mountains in West Virginia.
Major giving at the WVU Foundation unites passion, purpose, strategy, and generosity to create lasting impact — in classrooms, hospitals, athletic facilities, and community centers across the state powering prosperity, innovation, and resilience.
Every gift matters. But a major gift ($50,000 or more, given outright or over time) can truly transform lives, advance communities, and shape the future of our University and state. The inspiration and commitment of WVU Foundation donors have:
- Opened doors to higher education through scholarships
- Constructed state-of-the-art medical centers and cutting-edge labs
- Recruited and retained world-class professors and physicians through endowed positions
- Delivered lifesaving healthcare to rural communities
- Powered champions — on and off the field
- Advanced youth development, academic enrichment, and nutrition for K-12 students
- Sparked entrepreneurship and supported small businesses
- Translated research into statewide solutions for agriculture, energy, sustainability, and more
Major giving is both heartfelt and strategic. Our team will help you design a gift plan that achieves your impact goals and aligns with your financial priorities. We will provide insights on current and planned giving strategies, gift vehicles, and potential tax considerations that you can take back to your financial advisors.
