The Radford University Foundation
The Radford University Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and was established in 1973 to advance and further the aims and purpose of Radford University.
The Radford University Foundation and RU Corporate Park are currently closed to the public, because of the public health emergency. However, Foundation staff are still available and working, via both telephone and email. We hope to return to normal business operations very soon.
