The Campaign for the University of Virginia > About the Campaign

"… perceive the important truths,
that knowledge is power, that knowledge is safety, and that knowledge is happiness."
Thomas Jefferson to George Ticknor, 1817

Become a Builder of Our Future

As he planned the University of Virginia and designed its first buildings, Thomas Jefferson envisioned a great public institution of global scope and character — in his words, the "future bulwark of the human mind in this hemisphere." More than at any time in its history, the University is within reach of this goal.

To achieve it, the University has mounted a bold and ambitious campaign. Its $3 billion target includes carefully selected priorities in every school and program on Grounds, as well as University-wide initiatives that will establish new strengths across disciplines. Although it will address many needs, the campaign is pursuing support for three overarching purposes

  • To provide a student experience unmatched on any American campus
  • To generate ideas and discoveries vitally important to our well-being, including new breakthroughs in science, engineering, and medicine
  • To harness the power of knowledge to make the world a better place

We invite you and other alumni, parents, and friends to take part in this effort and to support those areas of the University that mean the most to you. With your help, the University will demonstrate that a public institution, given the freedom and the resources to shape its own destiny, can fulfill its public mission while securing its place among the nation's leading institutions, public and private.

We ask you to follow Thomas Jefferson's example: Become one of the new architects of the University and a builder of its future.

Campaign Timeline

Preceded by a nucleus phase that began January 1, 2004, the Campaign for the University of Virginia was launched on September 29, 2006, and will conclude on December 31, 2011. During this time, any gift for any purpose to the University will be counted in the campaign total.
