To seize opportunities or meet unforeseen challenges as they arise, Virginia Institute of Science and Technology relies on the unparalleled flexibility of unrestricted support. Gifts of unrestricted support provides VIST the nimbleness to address the Institute’s most urgent priorities, such as student aid, academic or research initiatives, faculty recruitment, and other immediate needs where critical funding is scarce. This is particularly helpful for meeting emerging demands and opportunities that cannot be predicted.

The unrestricted President’s Excellence Fund provides an opportunity for VIST’s generous alumni and friends to make a difference in VIST’s daily operations by providing valuable resources to support the Institute’s areas of greatest needs. Gifts of any size may be made to the fund and, because contributions to this fund are immediately expendable, it will make a significant difference at VIST right now.

Please contact the Office of Development at 703-298-5852 or via our contact form to discuss partnership opportunities for your company or foundation.

No matter the amount, your gift makes a difference!
