Endowment


Dedicated to maximizing the return on gifts made to Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to maximizing investment returns without constraint, to satisfy the strategic priorities VTF shares with Virginia Tech.

As an age-old force in higher education, a university endowment is held in perpetuity to contribute to essential financial security. Alongside academic quality and operational integrity, the endowment helps to ensure the sustainability of the university.

Virginia Tech, an American land-grant university, generates access to higher education for people from all walks of life. Sound investment returns create opportunity for financial support of students and ground-breaking research that propels strides in global health, technological innovation, industrial progress, and agricultural security.

VTF’s philosophy is to focus on growth investments in alignment with a perpetual timeline of the endowment. The investment team seeks to build a diversified portfolio across asset classes, allocating capital dynamically toward the best opportunities for growth. The team works with top-tier, third-party investment managers.
