Five-Year Pledge Campaign

Thank you so much for your continued support! Our alumni came up with a great idea – five-year pledge forms! McIntire’s multi-year giving opportunities provide predictable cash flow, fund immediate needs, and aid in long-term planning. Thank you for those of you that have already pledged! We greatly appreciate it. Every amount makes a difference. Please contact Nicole Fitzwater, Fitzwater@virginia.edu, for more details.

If you are not interested in the five-year pledge, please consider making an online single gift by clicking on the below link to get us started this fiscal (FY10).
