The Foundation is structured around three sets of assets – the endowment, the real estate portfolio, and Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center, Inc. These assets begin with private donors who put their resources to the service of Virginia Tech’s mission.
VTF distributes a quarterly endowment payout based on a formula of rolling twelve-month market (or asset) value. It is VTF’s responsibility to maximize the value of the assets and determine the appropriate payout percentage. Subject to donor specifications on permanently endowed funds, the University decides how to spend the payout.
