West Virginia University Foundation, Inc.

The origins of the WVU Foundation can be traced to the vision of WVU’s 13th president, Dr. Irvin Stewart. An active fund raiser himself, Dr. Stewart was instrumental in stepping up efforts to enlist educational support from donors, and often spoke of the need for private gifts to provide for the future of the University. In fact, shortly after assuming the presidency in 1946, he proclaimed, “If you have faith in the West Virginia of tomorrow, you may confidently spend your money at the University!”

West Virginia University grew dramatically in the years immediately following World War II. As a result of this incredible growth, the University needed private contributions to help satisfy the need for increased staff and new facilities.
