## Resource

Virginia Tech just shattered its own fundraising record with a $75 million gift from a Hokie family—the biggest in school history—fueling a major athletic rebuild and boosting the Honors College. Most of the unrestricted funds will empower the incoming AD to reshape the program, while endowed portions ensure long-term growth. Just six months after a $20 million donation, this gift more than doubles the previous benchmark. The university also launched Hokie Ventures to streamline athlete compensation fundraising amid rising NIL deals, all under the “Invest to Win” campaign. With coach James Franklin on board and a strong recruiting class, donor enthusiasm is soaring—and this windfall is just the latest sign of momentum.
