Virginia Wesleyan College has received a $300,000 pledge from the Beazley Foundation in Portsmouth for its $25 million fund-raising campaign.
That, Wesleyan officials said, is the largest corporate gift they have received during the campaign.
Wesleyan has raised $10.6 million so far, officials said. The campaign was announced in April.
The college hopes to raise money to double its endowment, to $20 million, and build new academic and administration buildings.
The Beazley grant is earmarked for a new $6 million academic building. by CNB
