Philanthropy Week 2026
What is philanthropy? It’s showing love for VCU! Some people volunteer at events, serve on boards, provide financial support or all of the above. Philanthropy in all its forms makes the university the best it can be for current students and future generations.
This Philanthropy Week, April 20-23, we’ll celebrate how donor generosity has positively impacted the VCU experience. During this week of fun and special events, students will get the chance to share what they love about VCU, say thanks to donors and enjoy free swag and treats.
