Submit a Project Idea!

Virginia Tech Crowdfunding Application

Crowdfunding is a way for the university community to raise money so that their ideas and passions can take flight. It offers our donors a new avenue to provide support directly to projects at the university that are most meaningful to them. It helps in supporting a growing culture of philanthropy while aiding students, student-athletes, faculty, staff, and university programs in raising money for research, events, outreach efforts, scholarships, and more.

Spring crowdfunding projects are accepted on a rolling basis. Please submit your spring application as soon as possible for maximum consideration.

Summer projects and projects outside these windows will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
