A major fundraising campaign for the University of Virginia was supposed to have raised $5 billion by the end of this month, but that goal was reached by the first few months of 2024.
However, UVA kept going.
“I think it was kind of a view in the 80s and 90s that when a campaign finishes, it stops and you take some time off and you launch your next one,” said Mark Luellen, the vice president of advancement at the University of Virginia.
Luellen told the Advancement Committee of the UVA Board of Visitors on June 5 that planning for the next major campaign is underway, but the Honor the Future Campaign never really stopped.
“I’m happy to announce, and I’m sure you’ll be excited to hear that we have now officially crossed $6 billion in the Honor the Future Campaign,” Luellen said. “And not only did we cross 6 billion, we’re actually over that number by $38 million.”
Luellen said that amount was raised through over 257,000 donors.
