William and Alice Goodwin are putting their money where their family was. They have pledged an unrestricted $13.3 million donation to the University of Virginia's Darden Graduate School of Business Administration, the largest gift in Darden's history.

Combined with earlier donations, the Goodwins have given over $25 million to the business school, making them the school's largest donors, UVA officials report.

The Goodwins have had close relations to the Darden School for years. In the early 1990s, William Goodwin -- as chairman of the school's trustees -- helped completely modernize the school's facilities. He also put together a financing package for construction that relied entirely on private funds, saving tax dollars.

William Goodwin earned his MBA from Darden in 1966. His oldest son and son-in-law also are Darden graduates.

This latest gift brings the Darden fundraising campaign to more than $130 million.
