Corporations and foundations give more than $1.7 million in gifts to Radford University annually. These gifts support scholarships, outreach programs, research and resources that would not be possible without private support.

Utilizing years of experience, Laura can guide you through the giving process and introduce you to the Business Industry Council, a group of business leaders working to ensure tomorrow’s work force is getting more opportunities at higher education today.
As a student, junior Matt Crisp dreamed of getting the hands-on experience he would need to be successful after graduation. President of the student Financial Management Association, Matt has been instrumental in launching several new projects, trips and activities for RU's College of Business and Economics. One project in which he has been involved has been the answer to his wish for true experiential learning.
The Student Managed Investment Portfolio Organization (SMIPO), of which Matt is the president and chief executive officer, is comprised of 22 students who have the responsibility of investing $100,000, endowed by the RU Foundation. The group is set up to simulate a corporate working environment, with students holding specific positions and making all investment decisions under the supervision of faculty advisers from the College of Business and Economics.
Without Radford Fund donors and the assistance of the Foundation, this project and many other student ventures would not be possible.
"The excitement of working in a hands-on corporate environment with a group of my peers makes this a truly invaluable experience. Having this opportunity has truly challenged me and has helped me gain the experience I know I'll use in the future."
