“We spent our careers as academics. We spent our career invested in the power of learning. We spent our entire professional lives dedicated to learning. So there is no value greater to us than the power of learning.”

Support the Lifelong Learning Institute at Virginia Tech
The Lifelong Learning Institute at Virginia Tech is a volunteer-driven, financially self-supporting entity of VT Continuing and Professional Education. LLI does not receive on-going funding from Virginia Tech and relies instead on member fees, donations, and sponsorships to keep our program sustainable and affordable to our members.
All gifts to LLI (excluding membership and course/event-related fees) are fully tax deductible to the extent allowable by law. Designated gifts are received and managed by the Virginia Tech Foundation for the purpose of growing and sustaining the Lifelong Learning Institute.

Make a gift from your IRA today.
If you are 70½ or older, you can transfer any amount up to $100,000 per year directly to a nonprofit institution like the Virginia Tech Foundation as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). This gift does not generate income, so you benefit whether you itemize on your taxes or not. Plus, if you are 72 or older, your gift can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution. Confirm with your tax preparer that your own situation meets all of the requirements for a qualified charitable distribution.
You will need to contact the investment company which holds your IRA or retirement account. Request their form for a Qualified Charitable Distribution. Follow their instructions on completing the form and request they make the check payable to Virginia Tech Foundation FBO Lifelong Learning Institute.
The QCD check should be sent directly to:
