Build the Hive 2021

The #BuildTheHive Challenge is a one-week digital fundraising event designed to impact funds that will help students stay and succeed at Radford University by helping to alleviate the financial barriers to the successful completion of their degree, and enhancing their educational experience by providing greater access to highly valued and transformational, real-world experiences. The fund that receives the most donors during the competition will receive an additional $1,000 generously offered by the Radford University Foundation to support its cause!

Anyone can support the high-impact projects hosted during the #BuildTheHive challenge by making a gift. The #BuildTheHive challenge is a great opportunity for our vast alumni base to come together and support students at Radford University in the areas they need it most.  It is also a great opportunity for our even broader community - our Radford Family - to join in and support students. All of the high-impact fundraising projects hosted during the #BuildTheHive challenge need the support of our Radford Family. You can help students stay and succeed at Radford University by making your gift today!

Yes! Smaller gifts quickly add up to make a big impact. Plus, every gift improves the University's donor "participation" rate - the rate at which donors give back financially to support the institution - which in turn raises Radford's profile in national rankings and increases the value of a Radford degree.
