FISCAL YEAR 2018Making a DifferenceWhen people ask about fundraising at VMI, theyoften want to know about “the numbers.” After all,in our data-driven world, they assert, aren’t numbersenough? Don’t they tell the story?In fact, they do, and here they are. In Fiscal Year2018, alumni and friends gave 51 million in support ofthe Institute. Of this amount, 41 million was in cash,more than 5.1 million of which went to the AnnualGiving funds managed by the VMI Keydet Club andthe VMI Foundation. The rest of these donations— 10million—came in the form of commitments. Thesesummary numbers speak to the spirit of VMI that liveson in our loyal alumni, family, and friends.Indeed, the figures mentioned above and presentedin the next few pages are encouraging and illustratea crucial fact: That the current members of the VMIFamily are as resolute in their determination to providefinancial support to the Institute as their predecessorshave been. But the story they tell also is woefullyincomplete—charts and graphs fail to relate theprofound effects private support has at VMI.In the fall of 2018, just as classes were beginning andthe Institute was settling into the familiar rhythms ofan academic year, Brigadier General Dallas Clark ’99,the Institute’s Director of Finance, Administration andSupport, addressed the combined staffs of the VMIAlumni Agencies. He explained that, during the currentacademic year, the money provided to VMI fromalumni, parents, and friends would constitute almosta quarter of VMI’s operating revenues. He went on tosay that, although support from the Commonwealthof Virginia had increased in terms of dollars—rising4.1 percent—as it has for several years, private supportremains the second-largest source of income for VMI.He then challenged those in the audience to pauseand think. “Imagine for a moment,” he said, “a VMI thatdidn’t have this level of private support. A VMI withonly three-quarters of its current income. It would notbe a VMI any of us would recognize.”On its face, that’s a sobering thought. But itbecomes even more so if you think of VMI, not interms of buildings and balance sheets, but it in termsof our cadets. Think of the hundreds of cadets you seewhenever you’re on Post—maybe at a parade, playinga sport, or just walking up on the bricks from CrozetHall. And then consider how much their experiencesin the classroom, the Barracks, on the playing field, andeverywhere else would be diminished without privatemoney.But, we don’t need to imagine a diminished VMIbecause, for generations, alumni and friends have comeforward and made the gifts and commitments that haveimproved every aspect of the Institute and the amazingeducation it offers its cadets. Thanks to them, VMI’sacademic program is stronger than it has ever been andthe Institute can recognize and reward those dedicatedmembers of the faculty who excel in teaching andresearch. Their gifts and commitments make it possiblefor cadets to participate in intercollegiate athletics,study abroad, and take part in conferences and otheractivities that enrich their education. Finally, they makeit possible for VMI to sustain excellence in those thingsthat make it distinct from other colleges—its militaryenvironment, its co-curricular activities, and its focuson leadership development. Their generosity has givenVMI the means to become ever stronger and to look tothe future with an increased confidence in its ability topursue the mission given to it by its founders more than175 years ago.Most importantly, however, this support makes aprofound difference in the life of every young man andwoman in the Corps of Cadets. They will emerge fromfour years at the Institute as honorable, determined,and well-educated citizen-soldiers, who will have asprofound an effect on the future of our country. Andfor those who supported VMI in the past, those whoare listed in this document, and those who will do so infuture, that is an amazing legacy.1
