Virginia Tech Giving Day 2026

Giving Day as a Student Giving Day is for anyone with a relationship to Virginia Tech – INCLUDING students (and your parents)! 

In truth, students made up over 3,000 of our donors last year. You get to choose EXACTLY which area of campus your gift goes to – from departments to student organizations, and beyond. 

This means you get to give to whatever means the most to you. There are also many ways for students to get involved beyond making a gift – check out all the opportunities below! 

Make a Gift 

One of the major ways you can participate in Giving Day as a student is as simple: Make a gift to what you love most at Virginia Tech. We aren’t asking you to give hundreds of dollars or even sacrifice your daily coffee – gifts as small as $5 can add up to make a monumental difference. Plus, if you’re a senior, your gift can count toward your Senior Class Gift as well! Remember that you can give to whichever program on campus means the most to you — you get to choose.
