Our Annual Fund is the beating heart of our fundraising – the great enabler. It’s a foundation that means we can be flexible. It lets us pivot to meet challenges, meet students where they are, and yes, keep the lights on too. (Because it’s hard to learn in the dark!)
The annual fund is where gifts, big and small, touch nearly every corner of campus, nearly every day.

Student Experiences and Support
Mind and character are built by a tapestry of experiences that students have at RMC – often powered by the people who work here. The coaches who push just hard enough. The staff who step up time and time again to support leadership development, health and wellness, and a sense of fun. Support the experiences we create for our students that make up the full measure of their education at Randolph-Macon.
Academic Excellence
It goes without saying that transformative learning is happening every day at RMC, and that’s why it’s critical that annual giving support this revolutionary work. These funds support our faculty’s curricular innovation, like hands-on learning and research that helps their students get future ready. It also helps us retain our talent and recruit gifted new faculty to support the next generation of Yellow Jackets.
