Annual Giving. Daily Impact.
Longwood’s Annual Fund is the foundation of our University.
Although we are a state funded institution, less than 30% of our yearly budget comes from state funds. The remainder of the support comes from student tuition, as well as gifts from alumni, parents, friends, corporations and foundations. We rely on support of our dedicated friends to ensure the continued successes of Longwood and our future citizen leaders.
During Fiscal Year 2008-2009 gifts to the Longwood Fund (our university's only flexible giving account) helped to:
- Sponsor a dozen research projects
- Provide scholarships for Longwood students studying abroad in the following areas: Thailand to study economics, Greece to study mathematics, Florence to study architecture, and Paris to study art and history
- Sponsor Jim Merkle's on-campus visit to speak about his book "Radical Simplicity" and to kick off a two year sustainability focus
- Fund the costs of sending 19 students to regional and national conferences to present research
- And much more!

“As a Longwood alumnus I have had the honor of being able to see our University change and transform. I have seen the exciting updates and have also witnessed firsthand the impact that private donations make on the University.
I know how hard it is to prioritize when you are juggling family, work, and community commitments – but supporting Longwood, at whatever level is best for each of us, is a worthy endeavor.”
Stephen Mobley ‘93
