I already gave this fiscal year, why should I give again?

As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of college athletics funding, it is still a priority to support our student-athletes as they continue their education and pursue their undergraduate or graduate degrees. The operating and scholarship budgets for Radford Athletics, as well as the funds for individual sports have had to continually flex and adjust to an ever-evolving environment. We appreciate any contributions to help us support our student-athletes and give them the experience they deserve. 

I can't afford to make a large gift. Will my donation really make a difference?

Yes! Smaller gifts quickly add up to make a big impact!

Where does my gift go?

One hundred percent of all donations are directed to the fund you choose. All funds are held by the Radford University Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is operated exclusively for raising, investing and administering private donations for the benefit of Radford University. Please consult your tax adviser to determine the tax-deductibility of your gift.

Is my contribution amount publicly displayed? Can I make an anonymous contribution.

When making a gift and filling out your billing information in our secure portal, under “Donor Wall Settings,” you may control whether to display your name, donation amount, neither or both.

Can my employer match my gift during RAD48?

Matching gift programs can lead to your gift amount being doubled or even tripled - however they often vary by employer - both in eligibility and in the amount of the match. Therefore, it is worth checking. See if your employer participates at this link.
