Sponsorship Opportunities

“LLI holds a special place in our hearts, not only for the incredible work they do in our community, but also because we’ve been honored to support them since they began, both as a sponsor, and as course instructors.”

~ Chris French, Plott & French Financial Advisors, 10th Anniversary Sponsor

Sponsorship provides an excellent opportunity to showcase your business to an active and engaged population of adults age 50 and older throughout the New River Valley and beyond. Your support helps sustain the Lifelong Learning Institute of Virginia Tech, a valued community program that promotes intellectual curiosity, social connection, and meaningful engagement through lifelong learning.

Sponsors receive visibility through LLI print and digital communications, with opportunities available at multiple sponsorship levels. Annual sponsorships support both fall and spring LLI terms.

Sponsorship payments may be made by credit card or electronic check (e-check). An e-check is the electronic version of a paper check and allows payment directly from your bank account using our secure online payment system. Please note that LLI does not accept paper checks for sponsorship payments.

To be included in the Fall catalog, sponsorship payments must be received by June 15.
