Leaders in Philanthropy
The University serves Virginia, the nation, and the world by preparing responsible citizen-leaders; advancing, preserving, and disseminating knowledge; and providing world-class patient care.
All gifts of any kind help secure the University’s place as a premier institution of learning and make it possible for our students, faculty, and researchers to shape a brighter future.
You can give to all 12 schools across Grounds. The possibilities are endless for supporting our students, faculty, and programs. Together, we will find the way forward.
You can join the growing number of alumni and friends who invest now in the University’s future by including UVA as a beneficiary of their wills, charitable trusts, and retirement plans. Gifts like these can offer you and your family significant tax benefits as well as greater financial flexibility in meeting your personal and philanthropic goals.
Through Honor the Future, the Campaign for the University of Virginia, we are building on our strong foundations to support the president’s vision: to become the best public university by 2030 and one of the very best in the world.
The University of Virginia depends on your gifts to sustain its programs. All support, from annual fund gifts to estate gifts, helps secure the University's place as a premier institution of learning. Our three pan-University giving societies—Lawn Society, Cornerstone Society, and Rotunda Society—recognize different types of giving from UVA's top stakeholders. Thank you for your generous support.
The Lawn Society recognizes the University’s premier benefactors for their generosity and lifetime cumulative giving, of $500,000 or more, across UVA.
The Cornerstone Society brings together alumni and friends whose gifts will benefit the University in the future, through estate gifts, beneficiary designations, and gifts that may provide lifetime income.
The Rotunda Society includes steadfast donors who have made cumulative annual gifts of $2,500 or more ($1,000 for alumni completing degrees within the last five years) to any UVA school or program.
You can advance the University of Virginia's mission within the school or area of your choice. The generosity of our donors is recognized and celebrated with membership to the giving societies at many schools and areas of the University. Contact the area(s) you support for more information.
