RADFORD -- Radford University faculty and staff have a unique perspective on the needs of the university because they see those needs in the faces of students every day. The Circle of Giving campaign provides employees an opportunity to help address those needs and make RU an even better institution.

Faculty and staff can support the annual needs of Radford University with a gift towards the RU 7-17 Strategic Plan Fund, which is used to meet the most pressing needs of the university, including support for academic programs, student scholarships, faculty research and student services. Gifts may also be directed to a specific program or project. Some donors choose to do both. You can designate your campaign gift to the area on campus that is most important to you.

Making your gift to RU is easy. You can set up payroll deductions, use your Visa or MasterCard, or make an outright gift of cash or check. All gifts are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Visit the Faculty and Staff website to make your donation today. Payroll deduction or gift card forms may be downloaded or simply make your donation online.

You have the chance to win a reserved parking space on campus. By simply giving a minimum of $24 your name will be entered into a drawing to win this coveted prize. If you are currently using payroll deduction or have given $24 or more in 2008, your name will automatically be placed in the drawing. The winner will be drawn on Monday, June 30, and announced in July. Good luck and thank you again for your support!
