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.
Elizabeth Andrews, a longtime legal and policy expert in Virginia, was the inaugural Environmental Sustainability and Resilience Practitioner Fellow at the Environmental Institute.
In this role, Andrews engaged various groups within UVA and externally to continue her work on climate resilience, connected with indigenous peoples and communities on climate resilience, provided law and policy analysis on environmental matters in Virginia, and collaborated with students and faculty at UVA.
At the end of her one-year practitioner fellowship (August 2023-2024), Andrews launched the Proactive Planning for Resilience: Protocols for Community-led Climate Adaptation in Virginia, which is intended to assist Virginia’s local elected officials, state government staff, and community leaders as they undertake resilience planning in anticipation of changing conditions in the commonwealth’s coastal communities.
Andrews is now a Distinguished Law & Policy Fellow at the Weldon Cooper Center’s Institute for Engagement & Negotiation.
