Mountaineers take care of their own. Your support of the WVU Alumni Association ensures that students and alumni stay connected, supported, and proud to call West Virginia University home.

When you give to the Alumni Association, you strengthen the programs that make our community thrive. Your donation funds student scholarships, paid internships, career development opportunities, alumni chapters nationwide, and events that bring Mountaineers together year after year. Membership support and philanthropic gifts are the driving force behind everything we do.

For 159 years, alumni have carried the University’s traditions forward through the Alumni Association. Today, your gift continues that forward momentum. It helps students access opportunity, supports graduates as they build their careers, and keeps the Mountaineer network strong across the country and around the world.

On WVU Day of Giving, we invite you to invest in the Mountaineer family. Your contribution is put to work immediately and strategically, supporting real programs, real students, and real outcomes.

Mountaineers helping Mountaineers. That is the impact of your gift.
