The family of two of the most generous UVA benefactors has committed to support University athletics and research into Alzheimer’s and related diseases.

Alumni, parents and philanthropists helped UVA achieve an ambitious fundraising goal more than a year early.

The gift bolsters UVA’s standing as one of only two public universities offering need-blind admissions and committing to meet 100% of students’ demonstrated financial needs.

A Virginia business leader and philanthropist, who credits his UVA education with his success, has given a major gift to the University.

On-field recognition during baseball games helps the University thank and support students who have served.

The matching funds have enhanced access to UVA for students and helped attract and retain top faculty.

UVA will match Couric’s $1 million gift for a total investment of $2 million.

UVA is a partner in a program that provides assistance to local communities that are seeking ways to exist more sustainably in a changing environment.

The total includes a $15 million endowment to support the Karsh Institute of Democracy and a $2.6 million fund supporting the Center for Civil War History.

Robert Ruff’s previous support of the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers and his backing for the subsequent programming for that space was a precursor to his current gift.
