Foundation Center

The GW Virginia Science and Technology Campus Library is a Funding Information Network (FIN) Partner of the Foundation Center. The Library works in cooperation with the Foundation Center in Washington D.C. to offer resources that help non-profit organizations and individuals identify sources of grants and foundation funding. This resource is open to the university community and the public at no charge. Free workshops on how to search for funding and how to write grants are offered periodically. Library staff are available to help patrons use the resource (appointments appreciated). 

Community Engagement

For the GW Virginia Science & Technology Campus, academics and research blend seamlessly with community engagement. Since the Campus opened in Loudoun County, Virginia in 1991, it has been an integral part of the local community leadership and economic development.

  • Community: Community involvement includes members of the Campus community being active leaders in the communities where they live, as well as engaging the university's neighbors and the surrounding community. 
  • Alumni: Campus alumni join a strong community of more than 50,000 alumni in the Commonwealth of Virginia and more than 250,000 alumni living in 150 countries around the world. Alumni are invited to find out more about special events and many resources and services designed for them.
