Fundraising
Division of Student Affairs Opportunities
Interested in donating to support student success at Virginia Commonwealth University? There are a variety of different funds designed to provide students with the resources to thrive throughout their time at VCU. These funds include:
- VCU Student Emergency Fund - Designed to provide one-time financial assistance with unexpected emergency expenses, the goal of the VCU Student Emergency Fund is to prevent one emergency or unexpected expense from derailing a student’s progress toward a degree. Priority will be given to students whose tenure at the university may be at risk due to an emergency situation.
- VCU Disability Support Services - Disability support services are provided for documented disabilities and can include academic and/or clinical accommodations, as well as consultations.
- Rams In Recovery - VCU's Collegiate Recovery Program which works to ensure that students do not have to choose between their recovery and their education. We support students inside and outside the classroom, organize events and trips, offer recovery housing and scholarships, and provide space and support for recovery meetings.
- VCU Student Media Fund - Dedicated to the support and encouragement of responsible, independent student media to connect, explore and enrich the lives of the university’s many constituencies.
- Recreational Sports Development Fund - Through sports, fitness, recreation, and adventure, we empower all individuals to optimize their well-being, build community, learn through play, and reach their own developmental goals.
- Ram Pantry - The mission of Ram Pantry is to ensure food security, human dignity and well-being on campus by providing in-need VCU students with food. To this end, Ram Pantry will collaborate with university and community partners to research and implement innovative approaches to food security and community health. We will do our part to ensure that no student in the VCU community goes hungry and that every student has access to nutritious food.
