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.

An essential part of democracy is having an engaged population that is prepared to be actively involved in the community. UVA strives to create educated citizens who value integrity, ethics, and empathy.
In this special place, world-class academics and caring faculty combine to teach, transform, and empower others. The UVA student experience is immeasurable—in a remarkable place where all are welcome and belong.
As a major research university, we are committed to pursuing the truth, wherever it might lead. The idea of learning as an opportunity for discovery guides how we approach our teaching.
With flexible funding focused on immediate impact, The Virginia Fund supports the 2030 Strategic Plan’s foundation, discovery, community, and service initiatives in accordance with strategic priorities.
Examples of University priorities that have benefited from The Virginia Fund include:
Hoos Connected
The transition to college and a new community can be difficult and overwhelming for many UVA students. Hoos Connected helps by placing students in a small group of 6-10 students who engage with one another weekly to discuss complex topics with two trained upperclassmen to guide the conversation. Students have the opportunity to connect, meet a broad array of fellow students, create a support system, and build an important skillset that will continue to serve them. The program has been so successful on Grounds that it is now being piloted at high schools and peer institutions alike to encourage growth, empathy, and social emotional learning for the next generation of citizen leaders.
Laptop & Technology Initiative
During COVID-19, a shift to digital learning became necessary for the safety of students. However, not all students had access to technology outside of public spaces. Recognizing this challenge, University leadership swiftly directed resources from The Virginia Fund to supply essential technology to these students, allowing them to continue pursuing their education without incurring additional financial strain. This swift action is a testament to the power of The Virginia Fund to meet the immediate and unanticipated needs of the institution during periods of rapid change or unprecedented challenge.
