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.
The Honor the Future campaign, the largest in University history, concluded in 2025, thanks to thousands of loyal supporters. Its impact on students, faculty, facilities, and research reaches across Charlottesville, Wise County, and Northern Virginia as it continues to advance the school in its third century of service to the commonwealth, nation, and world.
A McIntire education has prepared three generations of the Schade family for success in their chosen careers.
To ensure continued excellence at the school, Curt Schade (McIntire ’80) and his wife, Angel, established the Robert H. Schade Bicentennial Professorship Fund in February 2018. Named in memory of Curt’s father, a 1947 McIntire graduate and WWII veteran, the $1 million gift supports emerging scholars. With a match from the University’s Bicentennial Professor’s Fund, the gift totals $1.5 million.
“The outstanding quality of the professors and leadership is what makes McIntire great, and we want to support that in any way that we can,” said Schade, father of Christopher (McIntire ’15), Emily (McIntire ’16), and Harlan (McIntire ’20). “As the school evolves and grows, we want to make sure that it has the proper funding to attract and develop the best faculty.”
