On March 3, West Virginia University received more than 5,000 gifts and donations totaling $11.9 million during the Universityâs fourth annual Day of Giving, setting new records for the 24-hour online fundraising event held across the University system.
The final numbers exceeded the $11.3 million raised during the last event held in 2019 and nearly doubled the $6 million raised the year before. The combined total for all four Days of Giving, organized by the nonprofit WVU Foundation, exceeds $32 million.
All of these donations will allow for many new opportunities to arise for the University, according to Bill Nevin, associate vice president of communications for the WVU Foundation.
