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.
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.
Support UVA’s comprehensive endeavor to restore, renovate, and renew the Academical Village.
OVERVIEW
The Academical Village at the University of Virginia is one of the most iconic architectural sites in America, but time, constant use, and the elements have left the Grounds in need of a full renovation and repair. The University is restoring the Grounds to ensure that the Jeffersonian Grounds remains true to the University’s original, central purpose to engage, connect, and inspire students and faculty, learners, and scholars.
PRIORITIES
Gifts to the Jeffersonian Grounds support the Historic Buildings and Grounds Fund, the Jeffersonian Restoration Endowment, and other areas of the Academical Village.

Pavilion VIII
The scope of this project involves complete restoration of the interior and exterior, including returning the first floor to classroom space. The restored pavilion will be a shining example of the Academical Village on the East Lawn.
Jefferson's Circle
Jefferson’s Circle was formed to support the preservation of Jefferson’s architectural masterpiece: the Rotunda, pavilions and hotels, student rooms, and gardens that make up his Academical Village.
Work began on this historic pavilion—with an architecture alumna's attention to detail.
